Nagios Support Forum

When testing a new notification technique or even just adding a new person to the list, it can be useful to ask nagios to do an on-demand test notification.
Is this possible?

Thanks - an interesting idea! However, in the end I just decided to rewrite the sender.

BTW, the hostname doesn't actually take any valuable SMS real-estate, as I'm putting it as the sender ID

Is there a macro that I can use to give me the hostname of the nagios server itself?

I want this as we may have several nagios servers, and when they send an SMS, I'd like to know which one is sending it.

Of course I could manually put it into the command, but would be nice if it were simpler.
