As it says, you have notification commands specified for a contact, and the commands are not defined. I would suggest removing the notification bits until you've got monitoring working, then add them back in, working through the config slowly. It may be worth grabbing a web gui for it if you're having difficulties with the config files. Grep for "notify-be-email" to find the file you're looking for.

Cheers

sorry i dont understand , now i can't monitore nothing so if i remove will be worst than befor

yhank you

OK,

Are you trying to use the nagios web interface to see the status, or are you just looking to use nagios to send you alerts when there's a service issue?

I use the nagios web interface to see the status now the problem that i have :

Checking hosts...
Warning: Host 'SERV1' has no default contacts or contactgroups defined!

now ican see just localhost but other server i can't (SERV1)

i have this in my nagios.cfg

cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/commands.cfg

Add a 'contactgroups' line to your host entry, with a valid contact group listed. (You know, like the error message says.)

[epsone]

/me expects people to make an effort with the documentation, then ask for help.

The no contact group problem is only a warning however, the thing stopping nagios is the missing command definition:

Checking contacts...
Error: Service notification command 'notify-by-email' specified for contact 'nagios' is not defined anywhere!
Error: Host notification command 'host-notify-by-email' specified for contact 'nagios' is not defined anywhere!

The commands.cfg should contain something like:

# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.11 *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.11 *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

edit: Should have read the whole thread, nevermind
