Nagwin has blat smtp mailer included. The first step is to let blat save your smtp server settings for later use:
bin/blat -SaveSettings -f from-address -server your.smtp.server -u login -pw password
- You need also to specify your e-mail address for the contact nagiosadmin in etc/nagios/nagwin/contacts.cfg:
|
define contact{
contact_name nagiosadmin ; .....
use generic-contact ; .....
alias Nagios Admin ; .....
email ******@****** ; << CHANGE THIS TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
}
|
- As a last step, You need to update smtp server information in two notification commands etc/nagios/nagwin/commands.cfg:
|
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/blat - -to $CONTACTEMAIL$ -subject "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" -server smtp.server
}
# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" | /bin/blat - -to $CONTACTEMAIL$ -subject "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" -server smtp.server
}
|
Replace smtp.server by name/ip of your smtp server (your Exchange server for example). Make sure that your smtp server is configured to accept smtp requests from Nagwin machine.
- Restart the Nagwin_Nagios service to apply changes.
You can issue the command below to test if your mail notification works:
echo "Test message" | bin\blat - -to mail@address -f from@address -subject "Test mail" -server smtp.server
