how to change the default email notification format

Post by MSPk »

Hi Team,

We are using Nagios XI 2014 without enterprise edition. We are asked to change the default email format for the notifications that are sent out and I was wondering where/which notification we need to change to get that reflecting for all the users as notification management page is freezed.

notification management page is freezed.
What do you mean by this - you cannot make any edits to it? You might try restart httpd if it's frozen.

Code: Select all

service httpd restart
Any errors in the httpd error log?

Code: Select all

tail -n20 /var/log/httpd/error_log
You can also change user-level settings by clicking your name and selecting 'notification messages':

When I say the page is freezed, its not letting me do any changes as I believe it a feature only for Enterprise editions. I'm trying to do this by clicking on Admin->Notification Management and the page doesn't have the option to scroll down to change the email content.

I can change the notification message for a single user by clicking on the name of the user but I have around 40+ users and it is not a practical solution to login to each user and change the notification message

MSPk,

As this is an enterprise feature, you will need to activate the enterprise portion of your license to take advantage of it. I suggest mailing [email protected] to explain your situation - but really there's no way that I could help you work around this limitation, as it's purely license based. You will need to decide to either take advantage of user-level modifications or purchase the enterprise edition of Nagios XI.

Best,


Jesse
