→Investigation 2: Nagios Notifications: - clarifying instructions to reflect tasks done in pre-lab
* Create a second contact called senioradmin, using the email account for root@<yourdomain>.ops.
* Set the notification interval for the host and service you created in investigation 1 to five minutes. This is unreasonably short for most installations, but in this lab we want to get multiple notifications in a very short time line so that we can be sure they are working.
* If either of these services go into a hard-fail state, nagios should now send you an email. Note that you will should already have to configure configured the email server on your host to accept email for your domain.
* Manipulate you machine to cause these checks to fail (e.g. set your firewall to block ssh traffic), and make sure you receive the email before continuing.
* Fix your machine so the checks are passing again.
