Hi!
I'm using Nagios Core 3.5.1 for more than 2 years. Everything looks fine.
A few days ago I configured some additional passive (NSCA) checks to get root partition amount available for host " vnode2-concert-site".

This is Warning config for the service:

define service{
hostgroup_name root-partition-status-passive
service_description root partition amount
check_command run-nsca-script
max_check_attempts 1
check_interval 1
retry_interval 1
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
check_period 24x7
contacts pagerduty-warning
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w
notifications_enabled 1
check_freshness 0
freshness_threshold 60
flap_detection_enabled 0
is_volatile 0
}

This is contacts.cfg

define contact {
contact_name pagerduty-critical
alias pagerduty-critical
host_notifications_enabled 1
service_notifications_enabled 1
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_options d
service_notification_options c
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-pagerduty
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-pagerduty
pager xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
}

define contact {
contact_name pagerduty-warning
alias pagerduty-warning
host_notifications_enabled 1
service_notifications_enabled 1
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_options u
service_notification_options w,u
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-pagerduty
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-pagerduty
pager xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
}

this is hostgroup file

define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name root-partition-status-passive
alias machines with root partition amount passive checks
members probe2-condor-site, probe2-concert-site, dbnode1-concert-site,vnode3-concert-site, vnode2-concert-site
}

this is example of log lines on nagios server

Sep 24 12:38:12 callme-crt-vnode1 nagios: PASSIVE SERVICE CHECK: vnode2-concert-site;root partition amount;1;WARNING. root partition Size=519G Available=85G Used%=83%
Sep 24 12:39:03 callme-crt-vnode1 nsca[10047]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 'vnode2-concert-site', Service Description: 'root partition amount', Return Code: '1', Output: 'WARNING. root partition Size=519G Available=84G Used%=83%'

So, as you can see passive checks result was sent to server successfully.
I have indication (yellow line) on my web-interface.
But I don't see SERVICE_NOTIFICATION lines in my logs and as a result no phone(pager) notifications.
What else should I check?
Strange enough all other passive checks are working just fine.
Thank you.

For this passive service in core, if you "Send custom service notification" from the Commands list, do you receive a pager notification?

I run command and have
got next lines in logs
Sep 24 21:59:15 callme-crt-vnode1 nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION: pagerduty-critical;vnode2-concert-site;root partition amount;CUSTOM (WARNING);notify-service-by-pagerduty;WARNING. root partition Size=519G Available=74G Used%=86%;nagiosadmin;WARNING. root partition Size=519G Available=74G Used%=86%
Didn't get notifications but looks like wrong configuration...
let me check... I'll let you know...
Thank you

Great, get back to us with what you find.

no, I double check configs, still not able to figure out the problem

Posted: **Fri Sep 25, 2015 12:17 pm**

after running "Send custom service notification"
for the line in log:
Sep 24 21:59:15 callme-crt-vnode1 nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION: pagerduty-critical;vnode2-concert-site;root partition amount;CUSTOM (WARNING);notify-service-by-pagerduty;WARNING. root partition Size=519G Available=74G Used%=86%;nagiosadmin;WARNING. root partition Size=519G Available=74G Used%=86%

SERVICE NOTIFICATION: pagerduty-critical - means notification goes to pagerduty-critical contact, but according to my configs provided, it should go to pagerduty-warning.
It's obviously the problem, but I do not understand why

The purpose of sending a custom service notification was to purely check that notifications are working. It should have sent a notification to both the warning contact and the critical contacts. Was there a "SERVICE NOTIFICATION: pagerduty-warning" logged as well?

no, it wasn't

just re-run command
Sep 25 14:43:05 callme-crt-vnode1 nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND: SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION;vnode2-concert-site;root partition amount;0;nagiosadmin;test notification
Sep 25 14:43:05 callme-crt-vnode1 nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION: pagerduty-critical;vnode2-concert-site;root partition amount;CUSTOM (WARNING);notify-service-by-pagerduty;WARNING. root partition Size=519G Available=81G Used%=84%;nagiosadmin;test notification

You've restarted the nagios service, right?

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

Please attach your /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg file so that we can look through it.

Do you have any errors in your notify-service-by-pagerduty script? Are the permissions proper (executable) on it?
