Nagios Variables

[Ruslan Valiyev]

As I said, it's possible to extract the data from the variables you
mentioned.

*[root at bravura ~]# cat /usr/local/nagios/libexec/just_test*
#!/bin/bash
echo $NAGIOS_HOSTNAME

*Define a command:*
define command {
        command_name        just_test_cmd
        command_line        $USER1$/just_test > /tmp/test.txt
}

*Define a service:*
define service {
        name                 just_test_srv
        use                  local-service
        host_name            bravura.svc.unicc.org
        check_command        just_test_cmd
        service_description  Just test
}

After check is run, you will get your data.

*[root at bravura ~]# cat /tmp/test.txt*
bravura.svc.unicc.org

Hope it helps.
