Alerts > Notifications > "All Notifications" (top right corner) does not include "Service Custom".

Is this done on purpose or something is missing?

I think you mean Notifications > "All Notifications" not Alerts > Notifications > "All Notifications". It might be a difference in version though. For example, I do have "Service custom" on my 4.2.2, but again, it isn't under Alerts, it's under Notifications.

What version of Core are you using? Was it compiled from source or installed from distro repos? On what OS/version is nagios running? cat /etc/*-release may be of use.

Yes, Notifications > "All Notifications"

Nagios Core 4.1.1
Debian
Installed from source

cat /etc/debian_version
8.8
uname -a
Linux SERVER 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.43-2 (2017-04-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Can you look in the nagios.log file and see if you see the Custom notification like the example below.

Code: Select all

EXTERNAL COMMAND: SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION;192.168.112.129;HTTP;3;Nagios Administrator;Custom Service Notification

Can you post your nagios.cfg file so we can check it's settings?

I sent a few custom notification (2 different hosts) and then:

root@SERVER:/var/log/nagios# cat nagios.log | grep SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION
[1496038567] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION;NMS;CPU;0;USER;test1
[1496039009] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION;SERVER2;NetBackup_Service_bpcd;0;USER;test - ignore
[1496039398] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION;SERVER2;Memory;0;USER;test2 - ignore
[1496039460] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION;SERVER2;Memory;0;USER;test3 - ignore

Here is what I see to the notifications list:

The last two messages, from Server2, are missing from the list

This is the definition of "Memory"

Code: Select all

That is strange that is is displaying some of the custom notifications and not the rest.
If you go back and just display the Service Custom notifications, do they show up then?
Can you upgrade to the latest Nagios Core and see if the issue goes away?

I will upgrade Nagios Core during the next month and then I will update the post

Thank you

Ok, we'll keep the thread open for now. Let us know after you have tested.

Just responding as @avandemore is no longer with the company (good terms) but we will still keep this open for you.
