I I'm currently working on Nagios Core 3.2.2, and I'm trying to set up a mail notification. I already install postfix and mailx. And I'm able to send a mail via Ubuntu. I checked this with the command: echo "mail test" | mailx -s "test subject" mail address.But I don't know what to do next. I'v tried many different suggestions that I found on goolge, but nothing seems to work.

I have 2 problems:
I'm getting mail that the PC is OK every 3 minutes.
And I don't know what I should config in Service and host .cfg. Sow that I will get a good description of the problem in the mail that Nagios is sending me.
I have nagios server 3.2 and it works fine.I want to know, how know can i send mail notification by alert type?
Or example
How can i achieve this type of notification? Is it possible or not?
I've gotten myself involved in the Nagios monitoring tools and somewhat managed to configure the Nagios host, but I'm still having some issues with the email notifications.
From what I've read/researched, one of the favourite methods to get the email notification up is by using sendmail/postfix. I've went through it and learned that they are MTAs. What I actually needed is just a basic email client, and I would email the notices directly to an email address over the internet. Thus, I wont be needing something as complex like sendmail/postfix.
I gotten my hands on "Nail mail". I've successfully configured it to be able to send emails from my linux machine over the internet. However, when I copied the same command lines to nagios's contact.cfg, it did not work.
This is the command line that I'm using. Let me explain what I'm trying to achieve below. Firstly, I would save all the text notifications into a text file(green), and then email it out. The problem is NailMail command (red) does not work on Nagios,but the command line works in the terminal command on my Nagios account. Has anyone attempted using Nail mail with Nagios?

I want to have like 4 machines, each one of them with Nagios and nrpe (plugin+daemon) installed so that every one of the machines could be able to monitor all of the others.. Is there any problem doing this? Or having nrpe+nagios in the same machine is ok?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have got a nagios server running on my network, The configuration seems to be okay but each time there is a service alert notification, and an e-mail is sent to the contact group, Nagios continuously sends e-mail over and over again. Do anyone know of a way to set Nagios directives to only send one e-mail per alert without it flooding mail boxes.

Here is my PoSTFIX CONFIGURATION:
I have a setup with Centos 5.5, Nagios 3.2.3, sendmail 8.13.8. When a insident is happening Nagios notify-by-mail is triggered and Nagios sends via sendmail. Unfortunately there is a trailing $-sign added to the $CONTACTEMAIL. Sendmail cannot mail to xxx@mail.address$
A hack is to insert mailaddress in misccommands.cfg but I would like to have a more clean way.
Nagios has been up and running for quite sometime now and no issues till this month. For some reason, Nagios kept failing to send notifications out to our department. Out of curiosity I've sent the email out manually and tailed the mail.log then found out that every email being sent is getting a "Connection Refused." Can this be a permission issue? If so where and why all of the sudden it just stopped working as none has changed in the OS (Ubuntu Core).
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to trigger Nagios to "Auto Acknowledge" any host alerts after x amount of times? Sometimes system has been down in the mid of the night but no one really has responded to the notification which might mean bunch of emails flown through in each inbox within the department coming from these alerts.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSomebody gave me an old Celeron 333MHz system w/ 96 MB RAM and I thought I would set it up as a little torrent server. So I installed Ubuntu server on it, but it does not see the NIC. I know the NIC functions because the person was using it hooked up to a network until a few days ago. Unfortunately, it's an ISA-based NIC and not PCI and my understanding is that I have to pass it IRQ and DMA settings to get it to work. Unfortunately, I wiped the windows 98 partition without thinking of snagging those settings. First of all, lspci does not show the hardware AT ALL. Here's the output I get:

The machine is an old 'Compaq Presario 5050' with a really crappy BIOS that doesn't really offer any help. I read a post somewhere that trying to load the 'ne' driver should work, so I tried:
sudo modprobe ne
and it came back saying "no such device".
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server on an older desktop with the intent of making it into a firewall box. What I would like to do is hook one nic into the modem, and the other nic into my router. I'm not sure if I want to setup the 2 nics as bridged.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't get rid of the "Mail Notification Properties" Window at startup. Every time the system comes up, there is the window for the settings. It's just empty as I don't want any more mail notifications than Thunderbird has.
I looked into the Mail Notification Properties and haven't found any settings to get rid of the window. And I disabled "Mail Notification" in System > Preferences.
Still this window keeps coming back over and over again.
It even survived the upgrade from Karmic to Lucid. How can I get rid of it?
I use the Gnome Mail Notification Applet and have recently moved from a wired desktop machine to a wireless laptop.
The problem I have is that the Mail Notification shows an error because it tries to check mail immediately, the network hasn't finished connecting at this time though.
Is there a way to add a delay to this? I can't see one.
Or if anyone can suggest an alternative that is just as good (or better) and allows for a delay?
I have three machines say A B and C. I want to make machine B as a router for A and C, so that the ping packets from C to A should be going via B. I have directly connected two interfaces(eth4) of A and B and similarly two interfaces(eth5) of B and C. I have even set up a route between B and C. 1. But I am not able to set a route between B and A.2. If I ping A from eth4 of B(viceversa) it works. When I ping B from eth5 of C it work but not the viceversa.3. Also, if I ping from C to A, B receives the packets, but not A.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have mail-notification installed (using Lucid beta) but for some reason it doesn't send notifications using libnotify, but instead shows a standard gtk pop-up. I have the evolution plugin for mail-notification installed, and in fact the issue is not related to evolution, since I tried setting up mail-notification directly for an IMAP account and got the same ugly pop-up.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've had Mail Notification installed for awhile, but was disappointed by the fact that it tries to check for e-mail before my computer can even establish an internet connection (and then never checks again), forcing me to manually start the program after every boot (an issue others have reported as well).
As a result, I removed the program via Ubuntu Software Center, and tried using cGmail (which I've used before, without issue), only to encounter a bug. I then uninstalled cGmail, and installed Mail Notification again. However, as soon as I started Mail Notification, I noticed that it still had all of my preferences, including my previous e-mail account, saved.
How is this possible? I tried removing it via Ubuntu Software Center, and then again with Synaptic---but still, if I reinstall it, the settings are all still there. I want to completely remove Mail Notification, and all of its settings (even if I decide to eventually install it again), but now am confused as to how to do this.
I have a gmail account. After I installed ubuntu 11.04 cannot use "mail notification" properly. the pop-up windows is like an error in the middle of the screen (instead of the classic and attractive window reside on the right-up screen).
(same problem was in ubuntu 9.04 : [URL])
I am using:
Code:
Ubuntu 10.4
2.6.32-21-generic
Evolution 2.83.3
I have noticed that when I get a new email, it never shows a new mail icon in the panel. I had the same problem with 9.10, and I thought the problem would go away when I upgraded to 10.4. I have checked the properties in Mail preferences:
Code:
Play sound - yes
Display a notification - yes
Indicate new messages in panel - yes
It does not send mail if I only add contact_groups in host definition.
Code:
define host{
use generic-host ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name NAME1 ; The name we're giving to this switch
address XX.X.X.X ; IP address of the switch
