[Check_mk (english)] contact group and email notification

Archive checkmk-en

Hi,

Can someone on this list share his config file main.mk for having a
simple email notification when one check is critical?

I have spent one hour digging on the web to find out how to configure
a simple email notification.

Here are my config files:

/root/soft/check_mk/nagios-3.2.1/sample-config/template-object/contacts.cfg

···

===========================================================
define mycontact{
        contact_name nagiosadmin
        use generic-contact
        alias Nagios Admin
        email bh@udev.org
        }

I have tagged one host with "mailwarn" in main.mk, but I don't know
how to refer to "mycontact" in the main.mk.

Any help?

software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."

You can use the “host_contactgroups” in main.mk to tie labels to Nagios contact groups.

It still does not send any email, while I see the logs:

check_myservice has a problem!

But no mail is out...
