Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

Well... i'm facing big trouble trying to make nagios send email notification.

I' ve nagios working great, with all services i need, but i'd like to configure postfix to send e-mails to my personal email if something goes wrong.

I don't know how to do that.

Postfix is already installed, and i created another user and configured with my personal email to be notified.

can someone help me?

best regards.

The person who is best going to be able to help you in this regard (assuming you are setting up Nagios for a company) is your email administrator, he'll be able to tell you what the SMTP relay is and if there are any special requirements for connecting to it... from there it's usually just a matter of configuring two or three lines in postfix.

Often you will only need to configure this in /etc/postfix/main.cf
my hostname = nagios.domain.com
my relayhost = mysmtpserver.domain.com

you may be able to gleen some information by following the maillog on the Nagios system
(location may vary by OS)

I'd like to thnak you guys, your hints are very useful for me.

I solved my problem configuring postfix as a nullclient.

I get um exemple in this article from offical documentation http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGU ... ull_client

Thx a lot.


Best regards
