MACRO PROBLEM

[Khurram Malik]

Thanks Patrick

 

But how can i provide the name of contact group when it depends upon the service or host which is triggering the event. Is there a way that i can provide contact group dynamically to CONTACTGROUPMEMBERS ?

 

e.g $CONTACTEMAIL:CONTACTGROUPMEMBERS:,"

 

which can give me comma separated list of emails associated with that perticular service or host?

 

or if there is any ready made script for Nagios and Netcool integration?

Regards

Khurram Malik
