Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am new to nagios, I have a Nagios Core 4.4.1 and I would like to receive email alerts but I don't know where my mistake is or if something is missing.
The mail server is local.

I share de configuration of contacts.cfg and the configuration of some commands.

define contact {
contact_name nagiosadmin
alias Nagios Administrator
host_notifications_enabled 1
service_notifications_enabled 1
host_notification_period nagiosadmin_notification_times
service_notification_period nagiosadmin_notification_times
host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s
host_notification_commands xi_host_notification_handler
service_notification_commands xi_service_notification_handler
email mail@local.com.XX
use xi_contact_generic
}
*Change the email, but it is a local email.

define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name nagiosadmin_notification_times
alias Notification Times for nagiosadmin
saturday 00:00-24:00
thursday 00:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-24:00
sunday 00:00-24:00
friday 00:00-24:00
}

define command {
command_name xi_host_notification_handler
command_line /usr/bin/php /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/handle_nagioscore_notification.php --notification-type=host --contact="$CONTACTNAME$" --contactemail="$CONTACTEMAIL$" --type=$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ --escalated="$NOTIFICATIONISESCALATED$" --author="$NOTIFICATIONAUTHOR$" --comments="$NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$" --host="$HOSTNAME$" --hostaddress="$HOSTADDRESS$" --hostalias="$HOSTALIAS$" --hostdisplayname="$HOSTDISPLAYNAME$" --hoststate=$HOSTSTATE$ --hoststateid=$HOSTSTATEID$ --lasthoststate=$LASTHOSTSTATE$ --lasthoststateid=$LASTHOSTSTATEID$ --hoststatetype=$HOSTSTATETYPE$ --currentattempt=$HOSTATTEMPT$ --maxattempts=$MAXHOSTATTEMPTS$ --hosteventid=$HOSTEVENTID$ --hostproblemid=$HOSTPROBLEMID$ --hostoutput="$HOSTOUTPUT$" --longhostoutput="$LONGHOSTOUTPUT$" --datetime="$LONGDATETIME$"
}

define command {

command_line /usr/bin/php /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/handle_nagioscore_notification.php --notification-type=service --contact="$CONTACTNAME$" --contactemail="$CONTACTEMAIL$" --type=$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ --escalated="$NOTIFICATIONISESCALATED$" --author="$NOTIFICATIONAUTHOR$" --comments="$NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$" --host="$HOSTNAME$" --hostaddress="$HOSTADDRESS$" --hostalias="$HOSTALIAS$" --hostdisplayname="$HOSTDISPLAYNAME$" --service="$SERVICEDESC$" --hoststate=$HOSTSTATE$ --hoststateid=$HOSTSTATEID$ --servicestate=$SERVICESTATE$ --servicestateid=$SERVICESTATEID$ --lastservicestate=$LASTSERVICESTATE$ --lastservicestateid=$LASTSERVICESTATEID$ --servicestatetype=$SERVICESTATETYPE$ --currentattempt=$SERVICEATTEMPT$ --maxattempts=$MAXSERVICEATTEMPTS$ --serviceeventid=$SERVICEEVENTID$ --serviceproblemid=$SERVICEPROBLEMID$ --serviceoutput="$SERVICEOUTPUT$" --longserviceoutput="$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$" --datetime="$LONGDATETIME$"
}

Could you help me?

Are you using Nagios xi or Nagios Core?

While Nagios xi is built on top of Nagios Core, you cannot take scripts from an xi installation and put them on a core installation, this will not work.
