Hi!
Thanx for the prompt answer, I realize now that
I shouldn't try to fool the system by using obscure
ways.
BUT .....
If I use the suggested "contact"-path, could u
pls explain what is the major difference between
a notification and an event?
If I already have in production a event-handler
script that works fine (except for not using the CONTACTx stuff),
would I then disable "event_handler processing" completely
and use the contactgroup in a host definition to use a contact
that would call the same script as I am using for events?
The example I gave before is somewhat shortened, here is what
I really use
define command {
command_name send_snmptrap_host
command_line /usr/bin/perl
$USER1$/eventhandlers/send_nagiostrap HOST $HOSTSTATE$ $HOSTSTATETYPE$
$HOSTATTEMPT$ $HOSTNAME$#$HOSTADDRESS$#$HOSTALIAS$#$SERVICEDESC$#$USER2$
}
Would I still be able to use the above macros through a notification
command?
Would the macros above contain the exact same information if I used
them in a notification command rather than in a event_handler?
So basically, If I understood u right, u say that I could do
define host {
name NOC-MAIN
event_handler_enabled 0
register 0
notifications_enabled 1
contact_groups NOC_TRAP
}
define host {
name host1
use NOC-MAIN
alias my host1
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
check_command check-host-alive
}
define contactgroup {
contactgroup_name NOC_TRAP
alias noc trap contact
members noc_trap
}
define contact {
contact_name noc_trap
alias contact for running traps
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands send_snmptrap_svc
host_notification_commands send_snmptrap_host
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
pager some number
address1 text1
#address2 Network Security
#address3 Network Security
#address4 Network Security
#address5 Network Security
#address6 Network Security
}
would I loose any functionality at all by not using eventhandlers
in favor of notification commands?
would appreciate your help
Regards

Subject: [Nagios-users] event_handlers macro contactemail
Hi!
I am in real need for having access to the $CONTACTx$ macros in my
eventhandlers. I am running Nagios V2.
Would I get it to work if I did the following?
define command {
command_name send_snmptrap_host
command_line /usr/bin/perl
$USER1$/eventhandlers/send_nagiostrap $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}
define host {
name NOC-MAIN
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Host event handler is
enabled
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION
notifications_enabled 0
event_handler
send_snmptrap_host!$CONTACTEMAIL$!$CONTACTPAGER$
contact_groups NOC
}
No, the $CONTACT*$ macros are not available to event handlers. See the
chart at --
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html
Any other suggestion?
Why not make a contact whose notification command runs
send_nagiostrap_host and associate them with that host? You could also
build in logic into send_nagiostrap_host to gather that information from
some other source or the nagios config files themselves if the contact
route isn't acceptable to you.
would it work if I put the event_handler keyword in the host
definition for the host instead of in a template?
No, they're just not available to the event_handler subsystem at all.
