<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It seems during a recent upgrade, my notifications broke! Well, I did digging and found notification themselves are working, but the macro variables are completely botched.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I took “notify-by-email”, and changed it to this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">/usr/bin/printf "\"%b\" \"Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ ($SERVICEACKAUTHOR$)\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\nComment:
$SERVICEACKCOMMENT$\" | /bin/mail -s \"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **\" $CONTACTEMAIL$" >> /tmp/nagiosnotify.log<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, it will write the contents to a file instead of just directly piped to mail. Here is what I see:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Notification Type: RECOVERY ($)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Service: $<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Host: v-ww7b2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Address: 19216876178<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">State: $<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Date/Time: W Sp 4 10:18:11 EDT 2013<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additional Info:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">$<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Comment: $" | /bin/mail -s "** RECOVERY alert - v-ww7b2/$ is $ **" bv<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It seems like all of the variable are wrong. For instance, the host is v-windows7lab2.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The email address starts with “bv”, but it ends with a whole lot more!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not sure what would be causing this, and would appreciate any input.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
