Customizing alerts to add acknowledgements to emails?

[Greg Vickers]

Dan, here is how I do it:

define command{
    command_name service-notify-by-email
    command_line echo -e "Note: DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL\n\nThe 
service \"$SERVICEDESC$\" on host \"$HOSTALIAS$\" at IP $HOSTADDRESS$ is 
in a $SERVICESTATE$ state.\n\nThe output from the service check: 
$OUTPUT$\n\nService 
URL:\"http://nagios.<server>/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$\"\n(Note: 
This link will take you to the service problem and not show the 
sidebar.)\n\nNagios homepage: http://nagios.<server>/" | mail -s 
"$HOSTNAME$ has a service in an $SERVICESTATE$ state" $CONTACTEMAIL$ -a 
"From: nagiosadmin at nagios.<server>"
    }

Appropriately sanitized.

HTH,
Greg
