What services does Nagios notify per contact?

  • 772

In Nagios 3.2.3, I'd like to see all the hosts/services that send notifications to a specific contact. Is that possible?

  1. Ok, I can answer my own question after a bit more googling. In the Nagios Support forums, I found this answer:

    https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10329

    It is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I hope this can help someone else someday.

    EDIT: Thanks for the tip Zoredache. The link says you can 'cat' and 'grep' Nagios's objects.cache file to get the items you need from the running config. From the link I used:

    cat /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache | grep 'host_name\|service_description\|contacts\|notification_period' |grep -v command_name | sed 's/host_name/\n/g' > /tmp/contacts.txt

    to get a list that I then ran through to pull the config items I wanted for the report. It exports like:

    Server1
service_description     Linux Raid Status checks /proc/mdstat
contacts        sysadmin
notification_period     24x7

Server1
service_description     Web Server Port 80 check
contacts        sysadmin,developers
notification_period     24x7

    I hope this helps someone else, and thanks for the tip again Zoredache.
