Can you check your mail logs on the mail server to make sure these are not getting filtered? You may want to switch to using SMTP inside of XI to test.

Can you also post the definitions for the notification handlers that you're using as well?

mail is not filtering, because mail exchange is in LAN network
some hosts send mail, some host not send mail.

SMS notification comes on, monitoring in NagiosXI shows that it is not the server's okay, mail logs in writing that the notification sent - but admins not receive mail.

PS
mail from CLI the server to the same admins address is sent ok.

I create manually two alerts: CPU Usage and Memory Usage. CPU Usage - mail sent, Memory Usage - not sent. The server is the same, the wizard was used alone.

When you say you're able to send from the command line, is this the command that you are using?

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios Monitor XI Alert *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: --service="$SERVICEDESC$"\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: --servicestate=$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n --serviceoutput="$SERVICEOUTPUT$"" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$

I believe there is an error in your formatting, specifically this part serviceoutput="$SERVICEOUTPUT$"" (too many ""), and this part --service="$SERVICEDESC$" -

Try using single ' or no " at all and let us know the result. Keep in mind you'll need the " after the printf, and " before printf closes out at |

Here's a standard notify-service-by-email -

Code: Select all

# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-service-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }
Try using single ' or no " at all and let us know the result.

No, i sent a short message to the e-mail address admins through the console. I did not think, unfortunately, to duplicate this command (above) the console.
Now everything is in order and running, thanks to the help of rkennedy
