I worked around these issues and set my self up for the future to be
as flexible as needed by changing my notification command to be a local
script I pass the macros to as arguments, so I can test values and
conditions and do what I want. For instance, here's the original and
new definitions from misccommands.cfg.
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-by-email
# command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nHost Descripti
on: $HOSTALIAS$\nIP Address: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "**
Nagios
alert ($NOTIFICATIONTYPE$) $HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
command_line /usr/local/bin/nagios-notification "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$"
"$SERVICEDESC$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$HOSTADDRESS$" "$SERVICESTATE$"
"$LONGDATE
TIME$" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$" "$CONTACTEMAIL$" "$SERVICEACKAUTHOR$"
"$SERVICEACKCOMMENT$" $USER3$ $USER4$ $USER5$
}
And the the script /usr/local/bin/nagios-notification looks like this. In this
instance, I've set it up for two actions I wanted - 1. to allow an
SNMP-triggered
action when I acknowledge a certain service issue, and 2. I don't want to go out
for services that are stale from a downed host. I get mailed for the host, so
that's enough. If just a service is stale, we'll catch that visually on the
web pages. Hope this helps.
