Hi I meant the history tab in at the host object. if the host or service is in a non ok state you should see if the notification rule is working: e.g. ![image](https://community.icinga.com/uploads/default/original/2X/0/03ce4bf715fb48d5bc3087fc5f88413da334e04b.png) here is no notification sent, because nobody in our company wants to have “unkown”-messages. ![image](https://community.icinga.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a36ff091602255a51f5e67a7e1bc426f44e81d67.png) In the last time there were some threads with a similar problems. Maybe they could help: - [Notification by mail](https://community.icinga.com/t/notification-by-mail/5724/4) - [Need to setup Icinga2/Icingaweb2 to send email alerts only for ping service](https://community.icinga.com/t/need-to-setup-icinga2-icingaweb2-to-send-email-alerts-only-for-ping-service/5617/16) - [Strange behaviour of notifications](https://community.icinga.com/t/strange-behaviour-of-notifications/5717) If you can send a forced notification via icingaweb2 it couldn’t be something like SELinux or wrong file permisisons. the same if you can send messages via the bash. I think something is wrong with the apply rule. In the first link is a way how to check if the rules are applied --- _[View the full topic](https://community.icinga.com/t/problem-getting-host-service-notifications-with-icinga-director/5789)._
