Hi,

I have created a service and I add my contact into it to test alert but it doesn't work to receive the email from Nagios. So I can get email testing from Nagios. and my Nagios version is up to date. Also, I think the email alert is not working with any services.

Thank you.

Is this a new contact that you are setting up, or the default nagiosadmin contact?

If it's a new contact, then you will want to make sure that the new contact is listed as a contact for the service. In your 3rd screenshot, the Service Management screenshot, click the Manage Contacts button, and make sure your contact is in there.

Okay, can you download your system profile and PM that to me? Go to Admin -> System Profile -> Download Profile.

Also if you can give me the name of the contact, and the service that went critical, that would also be great.

Thank you for that data. I can see two entries where the service notification processes kicked off, but that is about as far as I can go for email delivery verification. Are you able to see in your SMTP server that the email was sent to the helpdesk group? The one thing that I worry about is that the helpdesk contact's email is using a standard Gmail account. I'm wondering if the notification was filtered as spam.
