notifications customized

[Michael Gale]

Hello,

	Check the /nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg file. I believe it is at the very
bottom. You can customize the e-mails or pages any way you want. For exmaple I
do not have a smtp server on the nagios machine.

I do however have a email script setup (which is like the sendmail
[mail]) command only.

So I have customized mine to use this command to send mail.

Before
--snip--
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HO STALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" | mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$
alert-$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$        }
--snip--

After
--snip--
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HO STALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" | /home/nagios/email "** $NOT
IFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
