Good Day

 

i m Checking my config file and i havethe following errors :

 

 

Checking hosts...
Warning: Host 'W2K3DC1' has no default contacts or contactgroups defined!

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!

many thanks

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

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

cfg_file=/etc/nagios/hosts.cfg

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

[epsone]

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 $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
       }
