Suggestions for alerts

[Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de]

Hi Xavier,

as an experienced Nagios user (unlike me) you probably know
already that 
the contents and formatting of your alert notifications is
entirely up to
you, and that you can easily change predefined notification
command definitions
or add your own.

With my configuration for example those are defined in
NAGIOS_ROOT/etc/misccommands.cfg,
and they are referenced in the various host and service
definitions by the event_handler
attribute.
For more descriptive or "polite" message texts you can spice them
up with the abundance 
of preset host and service macros or even your own user defined
macros.
Just have a dekko at your own config files to get an idea.

Regards
Ralph
