Custom variable not returning any values

[Ayotunde Itayemi]

Hi All,

I use a custom variable _primary_contact  in my host definitions
(below). I then modified the notification commands to include the
variable but it's not being set (no values are returned). What am I
doing wrong? Thanks.

 

define host {

        host_name                       

        alias                           

        display_name                    

        address                         

        parents                         

        use                             linux-server

        contacts                        

        contact_groups                  unix-admins

        notification_period             24x7

        notification_options            d,u,r

        notifications_enabled           1

        icon_image                      sun.gif

        _primary_contact                1001, 2145, 7134, 7207

        register                        1

        }

 

 

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nPrimary Contact: $_primary_contact$\n" | /bin/mail -s
"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
