Host/Service notification not working

Hi,

My host and service notification are not working.
I have followed the following : https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... blems.html.

Test emails are working.
Emails that get sent when creating a new user and changing passwords also work.

Notifications get generated as I can see them under "Home-->Incident Management-->Notifications"
Custom notifications also appear here but do not get sent.

I am using SMTP to send the emails via Gmail.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

I have the same problem. But already opened a support ticket.
They said there was a bug in the packaging.
Do you have redownloaded and reinstalled the latest version?

Jip. Downloaded xi-latsest.tar.gz.
Installed it, still not working.

Do you have a link to the support ticket you logged.

Thanks

@DamienVIX,

Did you do a ./fullinstall or a ./upgrade?

I do see the event handler error on your profile.zip.

Here's a few recent threads related to the same issue.

https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=46277

https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 16&t=46302

Code: Select all

<p><pre>SQL Error [nagiosxi] : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '16:06:00),NOW(),'0')' at line 1</pre></p>
With the same exact error.

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
rm -rf nagiosxi xi*.tar.gz
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/xi-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-latest.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./upgrade
Make sure to do the ./upgrade when installing the new 5.4.11.

The same steps are listed in our documentation in the "Manual Download" section.

Let us know if this is what you did or if it helped!

Yes,

I ran ./upgrade.

I have even installed version 5.4.9. There is still no emails being sent.

Thanks

if this is the case, then they're probably turned off at a user level. masquerade as the user, and make sure that notifications are enabled on each profile.

I think the tickets are private. There is no way to publish it. But the problem is still there.

My problem is: Mails with the Nagios XI dispatcher does not work - mails with the custom dispather are still working.
I track it via the notifications site. I see only the ones in the log (/var/log/maillog) which were sent with the custom dispatcher.

Along with the suggestions, I am seeing a lot of these logs.

Winner winner chicken dinner.
I masqueraded as each user and checked the notification settings. They were all unchecked.

Thanks
