missing info in notifications

[Nelson Serafica]

Thanks. My host_notification_commands is notify-by-email. Here is the snippet of notify-by-email:

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: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s "**
 $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

If macros are not enabled, why $HOSTALIAS$ and $HOSTADDRESS$ has a value? Do you think the problem is in the services.cfg only because most of the missing variables is related to services?

I'm using Nagios 2.10

Look at the *_notification_commands specified for the contact{}. Look  
at that command{} definitions for those commands. Verify that you are  
using $MACROS$ appropriate for your version of nagios. You almost  
certainly are not.

These links are for 2.x, the version you should probably be using... --
