First, you need to make sure that the e-mail account you wish to use to receive alerts is properly defined in the contacts configuration file (contacts.cfg), which is usually under <b>/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/</b>. Also, you will probably need mailx/postfix or similar packages to be able to send e-mail alerts, and you will probably need to modify your notification commands configuration file (/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg) Here's a link you might find useful: <a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html">Nagios Core - Notifications</a>
