Nagios Email Notifications not sending emails
Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2020 11:39 am
Hello guys,
I would like to ask you for help with sending e-mail notification from Nagios. I tried to do my best, but I am not able to fix the problem. Nagios doesnt want to send the e-mail notification. I went through this topic: https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =7&t=39208, but it also didnt fix the issue. Here is my configuration:
Nagios Core: 4.4.5
OS: CentOS 8
kernel: 4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64
SELinux: disabled
cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg | grep enable_notifications
enable_notifications=1
Configuration files:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/servers/osvobozeni.cfg
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfg
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg
journalctl log:
### In Nagios web interface: service -> Send custom service notification -> commit
journal -f
### THIS WORKS(from CLI):
Maybe, overlooked something ... but I really can not find out, where I did the mistake. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you very much in advance.
