Using arguments in the serviceextinfo file

[Michael Bambic]

OK here's a better description of what I'm trying to do:
define command{
    command_name                     check_url_local
    command_line                     $USER1$/urlize
'https://monitordb.server.com/MonDB/view.php?MonID=$ARG4$'
"$USER1$/check_http -t 20 -f follow -H $HOSTNAME$ -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -u
'$ARG1$' -R '$ARG2$' -a '$ARG3$'"
  }

define service{
    use                                 generic_service
    host_name                           stupid.server.com
    service_description                 stupid_service_check
    check_command
check_url_local!/monitor/Check.asp!is operational!!233
  }

define serviceextinfo  {
host_name              stupid.server.com
service_description    stupid_service_check
notes_url              http://$HOSTNAME$/$ARG1$
icon_image             graph.png
icon_image_alt         Click to view monitor
                       }


So if you click on the extended info it takes you to the web page that the
monitor is checking. If you check on the link that is associated with the
monitor that takes you to an escalation procedure for that monitor.

I wouldn't mind if it worked backwards either, just as long as one link
takes you to the page it's checking and the other to the escalation
procedure.

Thx
Mike

We do it in hostextinfo.cfg and it works fine so it probably will in 
serviceextinfo.cfg as well.
