Hi Kwame,<br>
If you determine that you can send email from the CentOS box on which<br>
Nagios is running, then be sure that you have specified the contact<br>
group or contacts option for the service or host that you want to be<br>
notified for when something happens.<br>
<br>
For example, to be notified by host specify either contact or a<br>
contact_groups in the host definition:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host" target="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host</a><br>
<br>
Or, if by service:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service" target="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service</a><br>
<br>
Or, for things like serviceescalation, hostescalation,<br>
<br>
<a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html" target="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html</a><br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
