Host check action alert issue

[Oliver Marshall]

Does anyone else have problems with email notifications generated by the
check_command param generated by host failures, particularly the
check-host-alive command ?

I have the check_command for each host set to check-host-alive. If any
of the hosts goes offline, and fails the check-host-alive check, I get
this email;

Subject: ** PROBLEM alert - My laptop/ is  **
***** Nagios  *****
Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: 
Host: My laptop
Address: 192.168.100.241
State: 

Date/Time: Fri May 26 22:38:07 BST 2006

Additional Info:


The 'notify-by-email' command that I am using to send out the email
notifications is as follows.

# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "subject: **
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$
** \n\n ***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/msmtp
$CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

Now, this is the same command I use for every other alert, but only the
check-host-alive check causes an email with NO source, NO state etc.

Is it just me that gets this? Does the check-host-alive command not fill
in the $servicedesc$ or the $servicestate$ ?
