Nagios map setting issue 4.3.2

The only way to have it both ways is to create your own custom notification script, and then change the message based on the value of $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$

You would write it is any programming language you choose, and pass the macros as arguments just like the current commands previously defined.. Unfortunately I cannot show you how to write the script

Code: Select all

# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
   command_name   notify-host-by-email
   command_line   /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\nComment: $NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$ \n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
   }

# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
   command_name   notify-service-by-email
   command_line   /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n Comment : $NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$ \n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ } 

Much of this is way easier in Nagios XI and is configurable through the GUI, you may want to take that for a 60 day free trial

Script your-handler.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

message=$(cat)

# your logic here to manipulate the message

echo $message | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $1 Host Alert: $2 is $3 **" $4

then add new notification handler

Code: Select all

# 'your-custom-host-handler' command definition
define command{
   command_name   your-custom-host-handler
   command_line   /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\nComment: $NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$ \n" | your-handler.sh "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$HOSTSTATE$" "$CONTACTEMAIL$"
   }
