Stories similar to send email notifications in nagios

I am trying to find a solution for the scenario below.

I have a few hundred services in a Nagios (OMD install with check_mk and other delicious stuff) and they are defined as different service types so for different types I have different contact groups who will get alerted when a problem occurs.

It is working well, but I would like to call a script if a service is on critical status after 1 hou

[ubuntu] Nagios and Postfix 1 year 15 weeks ago

Hi Everyone,

I'm fairly new to the world of Linux - so bear with me.

I've installed and conifgured Nagios on my Ubuntu box and everything is working fine, it's monitoring my windows boxes perfectly.

I'm trying to setup Postfix for the E-mail notifications and I can't get it to work (I tested by killing explorer.exe on my windows box).

I have configured Nagios 3.4.4 on CentOS 6.3 Final. I have also configured Postfix with SMTP email server. I have verified from console that I am able to send email notifications and recieved them on designated address.

Nagios is configured to send notify-host-by-email and notify-service-by-email.

Hello, I am currently monitoring about 40 hosts using NsClient. Each host has between 5-8 services running on each of them. I was trying to find a way to get less notifications because I'm currently getting about 200 a week.

I have nagios contacts set up, and these successfully limit access to view hosts and services in the nagios web UI.

But pnp4nagios gives access to all graphs (by editing the hostname and service name in the URL) - it does not respect the nagios-defined access controls.

Is it possible to configure this? (either using nagios contacts, or some other ACL mechanism)

Trying to send email from nagios 36 weeks 16 hours ago

I'm very new to Nagios. I'm trying to send email alerts. But that doesn't seem to be working.

But in my log of nagios I can see this :

SERVICE ALERT: Appserver;Tmp directory;CRITICAL;HARD;1;

Where host notifications are generated via email, only service alerts are not working. And when I look at sendEmail log I can see this :

Recently i am not getting any email notification in nagios, i have tested it by sending emails manually from root user and nagios user and i have got the mail sucessfully. But i am not any email alerts in case any issue, so that i tested it by sending custom host notification from WEBUI, something seems to be wrong in the log.

I have a Nagios machine which monitors many linux\windows servers. I started working here about a week ago and got a task to make order in the Nagios. As part of my order i had to add 2 more linux servers to the Nagios. I've installed nagios-plugins and nrpe on both machines, in addition, i've verified that port 5666 is opened and listening on both servers and i can see nrpe running in ps -aux |gr
