Nagios Nagios Configuration support
1

After a longtime setting up sendmail… now i know that i can now send email to 4 cell phone on two different provider,
to a pager and our admin email account…

I only have one interface setup in nagios and I block the ip so I could do a test…

nagios now see that its down but its doesnt send me a message???
I know its work because if i click on the interface then click on Send Custom Host Notification its works fine…

and if i go see in /var/log/mail.log i can see that nagios didnt even try to send an email???

what can i do ???
I need help ASAP

thanks everyone

I went to hosts.cfg and change the max_check_attempts to 3 instead of 20
and change the normal_check_interval and notification_interval

now I get a notification in about 5 minutes… (make 3 softcheck that take 60secondes and 1 hardcheck and then I get the notification)

define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host template$

    host_name               PDSN
    alias                   Default Gateway - PDSN Node 0
    address                 Routers Ip
    check_command           check-host-alive
    max_check_attempts      3
    normal_check_interval   1
    notification_interval   60
    notification_period     24x7
    notification_options    d,u,r
    }
