[afnog] Nagios support

[Kwame Saidi]

Thanks all for explanation.

May be I need to know something. From the server I installed nagios should I configure local mailserver like postfix or sendmail or I may use email addres that's located on the another server ?

Below are the logs ;


root at localhost ~]# tail -f /var/log/maillog

Hi Kwame,
	If you determine that you can send email from the CentOS box on which
Nagios is running, then be sure that you have specified the contact
group or contacts option for the service or host that you want to be
notified for when something happens.

For example, to be notified by host specify either contact or a
contact_groups in the host definition:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host

Or, if by service:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service

Or, for things like serviceescalation, hostescalation,

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html

Cheers,
	- Hervey
