[Nagiosplug-help] Problem with Email Alerts

[Narasimha Tadepalli]

Hi David

What is the default command Nagios uses to send mail?.
I found some thing in log files like below.

[09-03-2009 21:25:02] Warning: The results of service 'Current Load' on host 'ec2-75-101-200-287.compute-1.amazonaws.com' are stale by 0d 0h 3m 7s (threshold=0d 0h 3m 15s). I'm forcing an immediate check of the service.

Do you see any attempts in the log files that nagios is trying to actually send the emails?  If so try sending a simple test email from the command line and see what happens.

Hi All



I couldn’t able to receive any email alerts. I configured the proper contacts with right emails. And also I saw lot of the critical alerts which are displaying in web interface. What should I do to fix this issue?. I am suspecting some thing wrong with either sendmail or other default mail client for Nagios.



Thanks In advance
