Nagios Support Forum

Dear Team,

I am new in both Linux and Nagios/Nagios XI. so please help me.

I configured Nagios XI in CenstOS 7 and its working fine. I added hosts(Window PC, Linux PC and Switch) for the testing purpose through and its added successfully. After that I tested for notification and alert and I got if any think goes down or critical in my mail.

Now I removed/deleted the host(Switch) from Nagios XI through Web console but receiving mail in /var/spool/mail/root every 5 minutes. Hence I show the mails in /var/spool/mail/root, Its showing all the status details about the switch port.

So, Please help me, how to stop all the getting mails if I removed the hosts in Nagios XI ?

Thanks
Somnath Pandey

Did you apply the changes after you deleted the host?

Yes, make sure you applies the configuration after removing the host/services

If you have already done that lets run the following the verify you don't have multiple nagios parent processes

Thank you for reply,

Yes, I did apply configuration after deleted the Switch host.

I ran the command ps -ef | grep nagios.cfg

its showing

nagios 1963 1 0 13:20 ? 00:00:01 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios 1963 1 0 13:20 ? 00:00:01 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
root 22345 2222 0 14:24 tty1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto nagios.cfg

Can you give us an example of a portion of the message you are getting in /var/spool/mail/root

Are you sure it isn't the result of the mrtg cron job?

Please check the example of the mail receiving very 5 min.

Example:
X= Port number of switch from 1 to 26

2018-05-31 09:10:12: ERROR: Target[192.168.0.239_X][_IN_] ' $target->[X-1]{$mode} ' did not eval into defined data
2018-05-31 09:10:12: ERROR: Target[192.168.0.239_X][_OUT_] ' $target->[X-1]{$mode} ' did not eval into defined data

If connecting to LAN (it's mean 192.168.0.239 is able to ping from the Nagios System) then mails are not receiving.

This is not a notification from nagios it is from MRTG.

edit /etc/cron.d/mrtg and add the following to the end of the line This will stop root from being notified of the output of this cron job

Thank you for helping me.

You can lock/close my case.

I will back to you if get any help regarding Nagios/Nagios XI.

Thanks and Regards
