Hello!
I've noticed an odd behaviour of the macro $NOTIFICATIONRECIPIENTS$ on one of
our Icinga servers. I wanted to ask if anyone has similar experience and knows
if this is a configuration error on my side or wether this might be a bug.
We are using $NOTIFICATIONRECIPIENTS$ in eMail- and XMPP-Notification, where
the lenght of the notification is not an issue (or hasn't been until now). It's
a useful way of knowing to whom notifications have been sent, i.e. if wether
they have been sent to a costumer who might ask about it and so on.
What's happening is this:
- On the first notification about a host or service the macro contains the list
of all contacts to whom this particular notification has been sent. This is as
expected. It is usually a short list of 4 to 8 contacts. Every contact receives
one notification. (In some cases, a person might have multiple contacts, but
that's not the issue here.)
- On every further notification for that host or service the macro contains the
list of contacts from the previous round, plus the list of all contacts to whom
this new notification is sent. So if my list where "a,b,c", it would be
"a,b,c,a,b,c" on the second round, then "a,b,c,a,b,c,a,b,c" on the third and so
on. Luckily, Icinga is smart enough to notify each contact only once.
A similar result would be accieved in a shell script by using something like
"LIST="foobar:$LIST" over and over again.
This particular server is running Icinga 1.4.0.
We're having the same notification setup on another server, which is still
running Icinga 1.3.1. On this machine, this odd behaviour of
$NOTIFICATIONRECIPIENTS$ does not occur.
I've attached parts of our config files and an example. If you need to see more
of the configuration, just ask.
I'm a little worried what will happen once the $NOTIFICATIONRECIPIENTS$ reaches
a length that doesn't fit into this server's memory. :-)
Best wishes,
Christopher
