Hi Team,

I am not getting the mail notifications from nagios.

In nagios logs we can see the below errors

[1512022520] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: nagiosadmin;localhost;HTTP;WARNING;notify-service-by-email;HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden - 4183 bytes in 0.002 second response time

[1512022520] wproc: host=localhost; service=HTTP; contact=nagiosadmin

[1512022520] wproc: stderr line 02: /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file


Please help me in resolving the issues.

Do you see any config errors when you verify configuration?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
Note: If the path to the binary and the main config file is different, please modify your command accordingly.

Can you post the definitions for the HTTP service on localhost, and all other relevant definitions, i.e. the service template used by HTTP (if any), contact/contact groups, notify-service-by-email, etc.?

Do you see any clues in the mail log?

Code: Select all

tail -100 /var/log/maillog
