No longer receiving mms emails from Nagios

Up until Monday of this week we were able to send to the email address of our cell phones. We have a contact setup in Nagios with an email address of a distribution group that is setup in our on prem Exchange box. This group contains contacts where each contact is the cell phone email address for our team members. i.e.
[email protected]. Monday at noon all phones on AT&T stopped receiving notifications, Verizon users did not. I did some digging and found out AT&T was blocking our exchange box for those types of messages if they contained a link. In the midst of trying to remove the default response and nagios links that appear in the notifications I managed to break all notifications for everyone. I modified the notification template and deployed to all users, that's when notifications stopped for everything. Fortunately we had a backup I was able to restore to that fixed everything. As a workaround we've added the AT&T users' company email addresses to the distribution group.
In Exchange I set each of the contact's messageformat and messagebodyformat to text. I then sent a test message from my company mailbox to each of the contact addresses where all were successful in reaching the user's cell phone. I added them to a new distribution group and sent another test, all received the test. I created a new contact in Nagios using this new distribution group, added it to the contact list for a service, and modified the thresholds to trigger an alert. No dice... Nobody received the "text". I added my email address to this distro and I received the email but still nobody received the text.
Is there something I'm missing in Nagios to send these in a text format? We're using the sendmail method, could that be part of the issue? I'm sorry for such a long post but I feel like I'm spinning my wheels at this moment.

When the XI system is setup to use Sendmail as the Mail Method, it uses the local mailer daemon (Postfix / Sendmail) and it is logged in this file.
Check that file for any errors when you are sending a test email to the distribution group email address and post it here.

I don't have a maillog file in /var/log/. Just a mysqld and a yum log.

Can you run the following commands as root on the Nagios server and post the output here?
Code: Select all
echo 'select * from xi_options;' |mysql -t -u root -pnagiosxi nagiosxi |grep mail_method
ps -ef --cols=300
Thanks.

Error 1049 (42000): Unkown database 'nagiosxi'
I'll have to dig up what the db name is.
I did some more testing via powershell from my exchange box this morning. This might be related to the from address being the root@localhost format. I've tried adjusting the nagios.cfg file with admin_email=
[email protected] which is a configured inbox in our domain but the from is still showing
[email protected]. I did a nagios reload after making these changes.
I looked at the notify by email (host and server) commands and I don't see any switches specifying the from address. Speaking of, is that switch something like this?

Yes, to change the from address in the email command, you would add the -r
[email protected] to it.
The nagiosxi database on your server is hosted by the Postgres database, so the command would be the following to get the mail method settings.
Code: Select all
echo 'select * from xi_options;' |psql nagiosxi nagiosxi |grep mail_method
Can you also, run this command as root and post the output here?
Thanks.

Re: No longer receiving mms emails from Nagios

Your server is configured to use the postfix mailer daemon for sending emails and I would like you to post the rsyslog configuration file so we can determine the location where it stores the Postfix log files.
Typically is is the /var/log/maillog file but you said earlier that it did not exist.
Can you get the following file and post it here?
Thanks

This setting from the rsyslog.conf file shows the location where rsyslog should be logging the Postfix log data.
# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.* -/var/log/maillog
I found this information on wht the file doesn't exist.
IMPORTANT: many syslogd implementations will not create files. You must create files before (re)starting syslogd.
So, lets create the file and set it's permissions by running the following as root.
Code: Select all
touch /var/log/maillog
chmod 600 /var/log/maillog
Then restart the processes by running
Code: Select all
service rsyslog restart
service postfix restart
Then check the /var/log/maillog to see id the mailer daemon is logging it's output there and then you can test sending to the distribution group from the Nagios server.
