I am running 3.0rc2. I am trying to get the variable $HOSTNOTES$ to appear in
notify-host-by-email
This is the notify-host-by-email command definition that I changed. I added
"Notes: $HOSTNOTES$\n\n" in the spot shown below:
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nNotes:
$HOSTNOTES$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "**
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
The host I'm testing with contains only the word: TEST in its notes field.
define host{
use generic-router-intrust ; Inherit default
values from a template
host_name intrust-bob-ds1 ; The name we're giving to
this switch
alias Intrust BOB T1 ; A longer name associated with the
switch
address 66.243.142.155
notes TEST
icon_image switch.gif
statusmap_image switch.gd2
hostgroups intrust-office ; Host groups this switch is
associated with
}
This is the debug log output:
[1201644173.199143] [032.2] [pid=30977] Raw Command: /usr/bin/printf "%b"
"***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo:
$HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nNotes: $HOSTNOTES$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" |
/usr/bin/mailx -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$
**" $CONTACTEMAIL$
[1201644173.199170] [032.2] [pid=30977] Processed Command: /usr/bin/printf "%b"

intrust-bob-ds1\nState: DOWN\nAddress: 66.243.142.155\nInfo: (Host Check Timed
Out)\n\nNotes: TEST
The problem is that the processed command gets truncated and a notification
never gets sent. If I change the notify-host-by-email definition and replace
$HOSTNOTES$ with another variable, $HOSTOUTPUT$ for instance, the debug log
shows this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The notification gets sent successfully.
I know I have the syntax correct because I have it working with other variables
- it just wont work when I plug in the variable that I want: $HOSTNOTES$
I feel like I've found a bug but I really don't want to bother the developers
if I've missed something obvious.
Has anyone else encountered this?
