Passing contact macro to external script

[mcitunixops]

Hi,

Is there a way to pass a MACRO to an external script when using event handler?

I see the option "$CONTACTEMAIL:johndoe$". But is since we have assigned a contact for a service or host already, i want it to pass the value that is assigned already instead of me manually enter the user name and passing it to the external script. My command looks like this.

$USER1$/checkSpaceUsage.sh $SERVICESTATE$ $HOSTADDRESS$ $SERVICEDESC$ $CONTACTEMAIL:johndoe$

I am basically calling a command ( then runs a script) on the remote host to run some command and then send a email based on the service or host contact that is predefined already in nagios

Hi, @mcitunixops. You could try the $CONTACTEMAIL$ macro. I guess the command would look like this:

Code: Select all

$USER1$/checkSpaceUsage.sh $SERVICESTATE$ $HOSTADDRESS$ $SERVICEDESC$  $CONTACTEMAIL$

Let me know if that works.
