Nagios not sending out notifications HARD
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2015 7:03 pm
I've been trying to setup inheritance for large scale deployment and along the way it seems I screwed up my configuration. It doesn't seem to work anymore for explicit configuration files. There's nothing wrong with the sendmail and the commands.cfg since I haven't change anything there. I suspect I must've broken my template definitions somewhere.
client.cfg
templates.cfg
contacts.cfg
client.cfg
Code: Select all
define host {
use linux-server
host_name CLIENT
alias Test server to monitor stuff
address #.#.#.#
flap_detection_enabled 0
contacts nagiosadmin
}Code: Select all
define host{
name generic-host ; The name of this host template
notifications_enabled 1 ; Host notifications are enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Host event handler is enabled

retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts
notification_period 24x7 ; Send host notifications at any time
contact_groups admins ; Notifications get sent to the admins by default
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
define host{
