Sorry if this in the docs or FAQ - I didn't see it if it is.
I'm running nagios 3.0.6 and 1.4.13 plugins.
I want to have a URL in the email host notification that would allow me to
connect to an Avocent KVM switch. This is what I have for the host definition:
define host{
use generic-host
host_name dbtest
alias dbtest
contact_groups buildpeople
action_url
https://kvmswitch/cgi-bin/kvm.cgi?&file=overview-dsr&userID=1326154034&index=25
}
This URL works fine if you use it directly in a browser.
I changed the notify-host-by-email command to include action_url via
$HOSTACTIONURL$:
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NO
TIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOST
OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\nKVM URL: $HOSTACTIONURL$\n" | /bin/mail
-s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
}
But the resulting email message seems to have lost all but the first "&"
character, so the URL now looks like:
KVM URL:
https://kvmswitch/cgi-bin/kvm.cgi?file=overview-dsruserID=1326154034index=25
What am I missing here? I see others posting examples of URLs with arguements,
which implies that they are working for them.
thanks
