Pulling check result into an event handler?

[FrontlineIT]

Is there anyway to pull a result from a check into an event handler.
For instance, I currently have an app pool monitor that if an app pool was down, would give me the result which would be app pool name.
If I was able to pull the result of the app pool monitor and pass that onto the event handler, then it would be possible to have the event handler start up the app pool specified in the result if it ever went down.

Yes, there is a way to pass the status output from a check in to an event handler, the following link is an introduction to event handlers and the Advanced Features section, talks about how to pass the macros to the handler.

This link is the list of macros that Nagios uses and which commands they are available to be used.
