We are running Nagios 3.1.0 and are trying to access various Macros (e.g. $HOSTGROUPNAME$) from within a host definition's notes_url, for example:
<snipped> notes_url /notes/hostinfo.php?HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME$&HOSTGROUPNAME=$HOSTGROUPNAME$ <snipped> The file hostinfo.php is simple for now, it just echo's out the query passed: <?php echo $_GET["HOSTNAME"] . " is the hostname!!!"; echo '<br>'; echo $_GET["HOSTGROUPNAME"] . " is the hostgroupname!!!"; echo '<br>'; ?> The $HOSTNAME$ Macro correctly gets expanded out (either when hovering over the notes icon or viewing the notes webpage the link is pointing to), however the $HOSTGROUPNAME$ Macro does not get expanded. Interestingly, custom Macros defined for a host definition are also expanded correctly when used in the notes_url. We came across a few posts about this issue: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/60602 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/52775 the latter post stating Nagios 3x may address this issue of what Macros may be available for the notes_url. Is there any documentation/plans/etc... of what Macros are/will be accessible from the notes_url? Did we overlook something? Is there a way to access the $HOSTGROUPNAME$ Macro within a host definition's notes_url? __________________________ Bryan Loniewski Rutgers University CSS - System Administrator ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
