Hi Team,

I have configured host notification and service notification. but host notification is not working. Below is the host definition.

}

Why is contact_groups obfuscated here? Do you have an email address there instead of an actual contact group?

No, I am using contact group only. The issue has been resolved, Email command definition was having a correction. I rectified this issue. Thanks for your help.

Glad to see this is resolved. I will now close this thread out, feel free to open another one if you ever need assistance in the future.
