Notification Email for multiple ID`s

Nagios Nagios Configuration support
1

I have set the alert notification and it`s working fine for one user. But now i want to send alert notifcation to multiple people. Below is my configuration.

define contact{
contact_name nagiosadmin
use generic-contact
alias Nagios Admin
contactgroups admins
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email abc at domail.com
notifications_enabled 1

    }

define contact{
contact_name nagiosuser
use generic-contact
alias Nagios user
contactgroups admins
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email xyz at domain.com
notifications_enabled 1

    }

define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name admins
alias Nagios Administrators
members nagiosadmin, nagiosuser
}

Here mails are only going to nagiosadmin not to nagiosuser. Means mails are going to abc at domain.com

Please guide me what should i do.

Thanks

Hi,

firstly, when you run nagios-inst/bin/nagios -v nagios-inst/etc/nagios.cfg
=> does it tell you anything ?

also, you could try removing the directive “contactgroups admins” from your “contact” definition, as this option is already entered via the “members” option in the contact-group definition

If everything fails, you could also post a snipet of your:
-hostgroup def
-host def
-service def
-generic service def
-generic host def
-generic contact def

Hope this helps
