Nagios core: 3.5.0
Hello
Can we configure Nagios to send out email alert when failover status = warning? As of now it shows this status in the portal but we would like to get alerted when failover happens.

Yes, you can setup your service check to notify you on a warning.
For example, you would have to edit your service check and enable notifications, set a period, a notification interval and a contact.
Adjust to your needs.
Code: Select all
notification_interval 60
notification_period 24x7
notifications_enabled 1
contacts nagiosadmin
Then your contact will have to be setup also like below.
Code: Select all
define contact {
contact_name nagiosadmin
alias Nagios Administrator
host_notifications_enabled 1
service_notifications_enabled 1
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email
email nagios@localhost
}
The above are example but here is a link to the online documentation that you can review further.

If you have any problems, please post the configs so we can review them.

Hi
Thanks for the input.
Sorry, i missed to add that we have notfications enabled, we just need to asa failover warning status to trigger email alert too. So based on what you suggested me, i have added another contact as "asa.failover" and added "w" in the service_notification_options. Please find doc attached. Appologies i had to hide some info relating to domains.
You will also note that i have added multiple emails in the "email" of "contacts.cfg". will this work? As far as nagios didn't complaint during the preflight check.
please let me know if you find the config OK
Thank you.

You will have to create a separate contact, one per email address and then add them to the contact group and use that for your notifications.
