Nagios Support Forum

Dear Team,

MY nagios version is 4.1.1 and I am using centos 7

My problem is that right now I am able to get notification from [email protected], but i want to chnage it to my officail email id as this address gets blocked on my official mail-server.

Please suggest the necessary steps to do the needful.

Regards,
Vimal Parikh

Save and exit.
Restart Nagios with:

@vimalparikh, I told you to put it in a wrong spot. Please remove -r $ADMINEMAIL$ after /usr/bin/printf and add it after /bin/mail. Like this: Then restart nagios with service nagios restart.
