Betreff: [Nagios-users] COMMENT Macros


Hello all,

I'm trying to include the comments that operators add to host/service acknowledgements.  I currently have this setup as the NOTIFY COMMAND:

# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-host-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\nComment: $NOTIFICATIONAUTHORCOMMENT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

Using Nagios 3.0.3.  All I receive is "Comment: $" in the actual e-mail.  I assume I'm missing something obvious but I haven't done much custom macro stuff in Nagios before and I was hoping someone else could shed some light?

I do understand I may need to add additional notify commands due to the use of the $NOTIFICATIONAUTHORCOMMENT$, but this test is a also on a down host, not a service.

Thanks,

Ryan Gravlin
