Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios "from" address change
Hello,
I just saw your post on the nagios mailing list. I have changed my
nagios to put the name of the server as the "from" server and put the
severity and problem in the subject of the email. I have attached the
script that I use for this. It uses sendmail specifically, so you may
have to edit the sendmail path to suit your environment.
You would add the following line to your misccommands.cfg:
define command{
command_namenotify-by-email-spawner
command_line/usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/nagios/bin/email-spawner --notif
icationtype "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$" --notificationnumber
"$NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$" --se
rvicedesc "$SERVICEDESC$" --serviceduration "$SERVICEDURATION$"
--hostalias "$HOS
TALIAS$" --hostname "$HOSTNAME$" --hostaddress "$HOSTADDRESS$"
--servicestate "$S
ERVICESTATE$" --datetime "$LONGDATETIME$" --output "$SERVICEOUTPUT$"
--contactema
il "$CONTACTEMAIL$" --serviceackauthor "$SERVICEACKAUTHOR$"
--serviceackcomment "
$SERVICEACKCOMMENT$"
}
I have not done this for the host notifications, so you may want to play
with it for that. And this is for nagios 2.x You can play with it to
get it to work with nagios 1.x
Thanks,
Janet

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios "from" address change
Greetings all,
My apologies in advance if this question has been hashed out here
before. I have a request from management to change the "from" address in
Nagios alerts. In other words, notifications come from "nagios@, my boss
would like to see it be something different, as in "WhateverAlerts@".
I've tried playing with genericstable in sendmail, and have been
unsuccessful. Is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Frank

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios "from" address change
Thanks Chris !!
I actually managed to do what I needed using genericstables in sendmail,
but this is a much more elegant solution. I like it, and I think I'll
implement it here.
Thanks again!
Frank

We do:
define command{
command_namenotify-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:
\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -a "From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -a "Return-Path:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -a "List-Id: Nagios
" -s "[Nagios] **$SERVICEDESC$ at $HOSTALIAS$
($NOTIFICATIONTYPE$) **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
So /usr/bin/mail allows you to add additional headers, like "From"
or "List-Id".

The genericstable approach should probably work if set up correctly, as would adding a "From" header to outgoing mail. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
