Missing body of email notificaitons

Post by crafael01 »

I have a couple of service checks that have multiple hosts per check. Occasionally I will receive a notification where the entire body of the email is blank. So far I have only seen this happen on two different hosts which were being monitored on two different instance of XI (both running Nagios XI 2014R1.4). The only difference I can see is in the length of the description, the ones that were blank had much longer descriptions. I use $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ in the description.

Is there something going on in Nagios or could this be with my mail relay? As stated earlier, 3 of the four hosts that have alerted with this service monitor had no issues, and this happens on 2 different XI instances, for different services.

For the blank emails, how long of a description are we talking? Can you post the exact description, or at least the character length?

1,537 characters isn't any sort of limit I am aware of.
  • How different are the messages that do come through? Same type of content just a different length?
  • Are there any keywords in the output that might be blocked by a filter?
  • Are there any special characters or sequences of characters that might cause an issue? Anything non-ASCII?
