Prerequisites

• Admin access to Nagios XI.
• Provider account ready (mailbox or SMTP relay access). For Microsoft 365 OAuth, you’ll need an App registration with Client ID/Secret and Tenant ID.
• Time sync: The XI host is NTP‑synchronized (avoids TLS handshake and token issues).
• Firewall/NAT: Allow outbound TCP on 587 (preferred) and/or 465 to the provider host. Port 25 should be used only when your relay policy explicitly allows it.
• Deliverability: Your sending domain publishes SPF, signs with DKIM, and enforces DMARC. If you run your own relay, ensure valid PTR (reverse DNS) and matching HELO name.
• From address policy: Use a dedicated sender like alerts@your-domain. Keep From and Envelope-From (Return‑Path) aligned to a domain you control.

Where to configure in XI

Nagios XI makes email setup straightforward. Navigate to these paths:

• Admin → System Config → Email Settings → SMTP with Basic Auth
• Admin → System Config → Email Settings → Gmail with OAuth2 (optional Gmail OAuth)
• Admin → System Config → Email Settings → Microsoft with OAuth2 (for Microsoft 365)

Quick Start for Any Provider

For a fast setup:

1. Navigate to Admin → System Config → Email Settings → SMTP with Basic Auth.

2. Fill in these key fields:

• SMTP Host: Your provider’s server, like smtp.gmail.com.
• Port: 587 for TLS/STARTTLS or 465 for SSL/TLS, depending on what’s required.
• Security: Choose TLS (STARTTLS) or SSL/TLS to match.
• Username: Typically your full email address (skip this for IP-allowlisted relays).
• Password: Your account password or an App Password—switch to OAuth tabs if supported.
• Send Mail From: Something clear like Nagios Alerts <alerts@your-domain.com>.

3. Hit Test Settings to send a quick email and check if it lands.

Quick tip: If you’re sending on behalf of a shared mailbox or different address, verify “Send As” permissions with your provider to avoid bounces.

Provider-Specific Setups

Email providers keep updating their rules, especially in 2025 with a big shift toward OAuth over basic auth for better security. We’ve pulled these configs from official sources and tested them to ensure they’re solid.

Gmail (Personal @gmail.com Accounts)

For personal Gmail, the easiest secure option is an App Password, paired with two-step verification.

1. Enable two-step verification in your Google account settings.

2. Generate an App Password called “Nagios XI” and copy that 16-character code.

3. In Nagios XI’s SMTP section:

• Host: smtp.gmail.com
• Port/Security: 587 with TLS (STARTTLS) or 465 with SSL/TLS.
• Username: Your full Gmail address.
• Password: The App Password (Generated 16-character code).
• From: Your Gmail address or a verified alias.

Run Test Settings to confirm.

If your organization insists on OAuth, use the Gmail with OAuth2 tab and follow the prompts with your Google Cloud Client ID and Secret.

Common hiccups: “535 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted” usually means double-check two-step verification is on and you’re using the App Password. “Must issue a STARTTLS command first”? Switch to 587/TLS.

This video walks through setting up email notifications with Gmail.

Google Workspace (Business Accounts)

Business users get the best results with Google Workspace’s SMTP relay, especially if you can set up IP allow listing for no-fuss auth.

• Server: smtp-relay.gmail.com
• Port: 587 (recommended with STARTTLS), 465 (SSL/TLS), or 25 (opportunistic TLS).
• Security: Matches the port—opportunistic on 25, STARTTLS on 587, SSL/TLS on 465.
• Authentication: Skip username/password if IP allowlisting is in play; just align your “From” with the policy.

Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is all about OAuth these days for top-notch security via the Microsoft Graph API.

1. In Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD):

• Set up an app registration and grab the Tenant ID and Client ID.
• Create a Client Secret and keep it safe.
• Add the “Mail.Send” permission under Microsoft Graph (Application type) and grant admin consent.

2. Back in Nagios XI’s Microsoft with OAuth2 tab:

• Plug in the Tenant ID, Client ID, and Secret.
• Set a valid “Send From” mailbox or alias.
• Click Test Credentials, then Test Settings.

Stick to modern TLS (1.2 or higher) and keep the “From” address in line with what’s authorized.

As a temporary bridge, you can fall back to SMTP AUTH on smtp.office365.com with port 587 and STARTTLS (no 465 here). Use a licensed mailbox’s UPN and password, but enable SMTP AUTH at both the org and mailbox levels, and grant “Send As” if needed. Heads up: Basic Auth for SMTP is getting the axe permanently in September 2025, so shift to OAuth ASAP.

Typical errors: “5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful” or “5.7.0 Authentication required” points to enabling SMTP AUTH (if using it), checking UPN/password, and sticking to 587/STARTTLS. “5.7.60 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender”? Grant “Send As” or tweak the “From”.

Outlook.com

For personal Microsoft accounts like Outlook.com, Hotmail, or Live, keep it simple:

• Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
• Port/Security: 587 with STARTTLS.
• Authentication: Your full address and password; switch to an App Password if two-step verification is on.

Yahoo Mail

Yahoo keeps third-party access secure with App Passwords.

1. Head to Yahoo Account Security and generate one named “Nagios XI”.

2. In Nagios XI SMTP:

• Host: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
• Port/Security: 465 with SSL/TLS or 587 with TLS.
• Username: Your full Yahoo address.
• Password: The App Password.
• From: Your Yahoo address.

Zoho Mail

Zoho’s setup varies by region and account type.

For standard accounts:

• Server: smtp.zoho.com for (US), smtp.zoho.eu for (EU), smtp.zoho.in for (IN).
• Port/Security: 465 with SSL/TLS or 587 with TLS.
• Authentication: Email and password; use a Zoho App Password if MFA is enabled.
• From: Your Zoho address or allowed alias.

Organizations on paid plans might use smtppro.zoho.com with the same ports and security.

Read this article to learn more:

Custom SMTP / Internal Relay

For custom setups, loop in your mail team to get:

• The hostname (FQDN), port, TLS mode, and auth method.
• Policies for allowed From/Return-Path.
• IP allowlisting or certificate rules.
• Limits on rates and message sizes.

To nail deliverability, publish SPF, sign with DKIM, enforce DMARC, and ensure PTR and HELO match up.

Testing and Validation

Once configured, don’t skip testing; it’s the best way to catch issues early.

1. In the SMTP settings, click Test Settings and send to an email you can access.
2. Check both the Inbox and Spam/Junk folders.
3. If it flops, dive into the logs: /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/phpmailer.log for XI, or OS-specific ones.
4. For OAuth, head to the provider portal to validate tokens and credentials.

Handy CLI tools for extra checks:

# Probe STARTTLS for Microsoft 365
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect smtp.office365.com:587 -brief

# Test Gmail SMTP auth with App Password
swaks --to you@domain --server smtp.gmail.com --port 587 --auth LOGIN \
  --auth-user your@gmail.com --auth-password 'your-app-password' --tls

# Generic STARTTLS check
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect host.example.com:587 -showcerts

# Probe STARTTLS for Microsoft 365
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect smtp.office365.com:587 -brief

# Test Gmail SMTP auth with App Password
swaks --to you@domain --server smtp.gmail.com --port 587 --auth LOGIN \
  --auth-user your@gmail.com --auth-password 'your-app-password' --tls

# Generic STARTTLS check
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect host.example.com:587 -showcerts

Troubleshooting

Most Common Issues and Fixes

• Authentication Failures: Stick to the right App Password (for Gmail, Yahoo, Zoho) or OAuth (Microsoft 365, Gmail). For Microsoft 365’s SMTP AUTH fallback, enable it at org and mailbox levels, use 587/STARTTLS, and verify UPN/password. Sending as another address? Grant “Send As” permissions.
• TLS or Connection Errors: Ensure ports 587 and/or 465 are open outbound. Your XI host needs TLS 1.2+ and fresh CA certs. Remember, no port 465 for Microsoft 365 client submission.
• Relaying Denied: Auth properly with username/password or OAuth, or lean on an IP-allowlisted relay. Align the “From” with policy rules.
• Google Workspace Relay: Prompted for a password? Your policy likely wants IP allowlisting; drop credentials and fix the “From” domain.
• Gmail: “535 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted” → Confirm two-step is enabled and use the App Password.

Quick Reference Table

Conclusion

Reliable email notifications prevent minor issues from becoming outages in Nagios XI. Configure SMTP and OAuth using the provider-validated settings in this guide, prioritize OAuth 2.0 as Microsoft retires legacy methods in 2025, and maintain SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment to safeguard deliverability. If tests fail, use the logging, CLI checks, and quick-fix steps here to diagnose and resolve issues quickly.

Prerequisites

• Outlook mailbox that will appear in the From line (e.g., alerts@your-domain.com).
• MFA enabled on the sending account and tenant policy that allows app passwords.
• Nagios XI admin access and outbound network access from the XI server to smtp.office365.com on port 587 (STARTTLS).
• Accurate time/NTP and up-to-date CA certificates on the XI host to avoid TLS/certificate issues.

Step 1: Enable MFA and Generate a Microsoft 365 App Password

1. Sign in to your Security info page for your work/school account and ensure two-step verification (MFA) is enabled.
2. In Security info, select Add method → App password, then choose Generate app password. Name it “Nagios XI” or another memorable name if you have multiple app passwords.
3. Copy the app password and store it securely for use in Nagios XI. Do not use your regular account password, and ensure no extra spaces are copied.

If App password isn’t available, your tenant likely blocks app passwords (Security Defaults or conditional access policy). Use Microsoft with OAuth2 in XI or an SMTP relay instead.

Step 2: Configure SMTP Settings in Nagios XI

1. In XI, go to Admin → System Config → Email Settings.
2. Set Send Mail From to a valid sender in your tenant, for example: Nagios Alerts <alerts@your-domain.com>.
3. Mail Method: SMTP.
4. Configure SMTP Settings:
   • Host: smtp.office365.com
   • Port: 587
   • Security: TLS
   • Username: full mailbox UPN (e.g., alerts@your-domain.com)
   • Password: the app password from Step 1
5. Click Update Settings.

If the test later fails with “client not authenticated” or 5.7.139, confirm Authenticated SMTP is enabled for the mailbox/tenant and that you are using STARTTLS on 587.

Step 3: Update User Email in Account Settings

1. In XI, click the user icon → Account Settings.
2. Update Email Address to the address that should receive notifications (e.g., alerts@your-domain.com or another inbox).
3. Enter your current XI password to confirm.
4. Click Update Settings.

Step 4: Send a Test Email

1. Return to Admin → System Config → Email Settings.

2. Click Send A Test Email to verify the SMTP configuration.

3. Check the destination inbox and Spam/Junk folder for the test message.

Step 5: Test Notifications with a Real Alert

1. Assign the Microsoft 365–backed contact to a test host or service in XI.
2. Trigger an alert (e.g., force a soft problem state or use Send Custom Notification).
3. Verify that the alert email arrives (check Spam/Junk inbox if needed).

Troubleshooting

Conclusion

Microsoft 365 App Password + SMTP AUTH can deliver Nagios XI notifications securely over TLS on port 587 with smtp.office365.com, but it depends on tenant policies that allow app passwords and Authenticated SMTP. Because Microsoft is phasing out Basic Authentication for SMTP client submission, treat app passwords as a short‑term solution and plan to migrate to OAuth2 in XI for long‑term reliability and security.
