Hi all,

I'm new to opsview, but with a lot of nagios experience, so I'm having trouble 
doing things 'the opsview way', as opposed to just editing a config file (or 
writing a script to edit the config file for me).

My first question has to do with notification email - I want to make some 
additions to the text of a notification message (think pointer to a runbook 
page or such).  I realize that I can't change the definitions in 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg, and I found in some of the 
documentation where I can make my changes as if the notification were going out 
via sms, but it seems that my program (in 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/notifications/) doesn't get the contact's email 
address, unless I also configure opsview to also send the conventional email, 
so the contact gets two messages, one without and one with the extra 
information.

Would it be possible to an a bit of indirection - I note that the standard 
email code delivers the message by passing it to /usr/bin/Mail, which on my 
system is a symlink to /bin/mail; instead, could the email delivery program be 
defined for opsview purposes by a new variable in 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/opsview.conf, or by a symlink like 
'/usr/local/nagios/bin/Mail -> /usr/bin/Mail' so that I can easily change it?

Thanks,
Ben Spade
