Microsoft Teams Notifications

[mrfurlott]

Hello,

I'm trying to get Teams notifications working. I've been following the script instructions here: https://github.com/isaac-galvan/nagios-teams-notify

With a couple of changes. Here is what I have for a setup:

notify_teams.py is in /usr/local/nagios/etc and has been CHMOD +x'ed. The script itself is unchanged from the one in github

I decided to edit the notify-host-by-email and notify-service-by-email entries rather than making new ones, because it just seems like less changes and I have no interest in notifying by email at this time. My /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg has the following entries:

Code: Select all

define command {

    command_name    notify-host-by-email
    command_line    /usr/local/nagios/etc/notify-teams.py "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$" "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host: $HOSTNAME$ State: $HOSTSTATE$ Address: $HOSTADDRESS$ Info: $HOSTOUTPUT$ Date/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" <WEBHOOKURL>
}

Code: Select all

define command {

    command_name    notify-service-by-email
    command_line    /usr/local/nagios/etc/notify-teams.py "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$" "Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service: $SERVICEDESC$ Host: $HOSTALIAS$ Address: $HOSTADDRESS$ State: $SERVICESTATE$ Date/Time: $LONGDATETIME$ Additional Info: $SERVICEOUTPUT$" <WEBHOOKURL>
}

In both instances, <WEBHOOKURL> is the actual web hook URL, not a variable.

contacts.cfg is unchanged other than having my email in it.
templates.cfg is unchanged.

If I go to the command line and run /usr/local/nagios/etc/notify-teams.py "Test Message" "Test Body" <WEBHOOKURL> it works perfectly and I get the message in teams, so at its core, notify-teams.py and the web hook URL are OK. Forcing a notification to go out about a host also works, but comes across a bit weird in that the message shows some of the variable $ characters and none of the data on hosts or services:

Code: Select all

CUSTOM: ESXi-01/$ is $
$
$

However, when hosts go down, I get no notifications at all. My guess is it isnt parsing the variables correctly? But I dont know how to troubleshoot that, nor do I know how to find any logs on what might have gone wrong.

Any thoughts?

Well, I already solved it!

The change that needed to happen was

Code: Select all

define command {

    command_name    notify-host-by-email
    command_line    /usr/local/nagios/etc/notify-teams.py "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$" "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host: $HOSTNAME$ State: $HOSTSTATE$ Address: $HOSTADDRESS$ Info: $HOSTOUTPUT$ Date/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" <WEBHOOKURL>
}

needed to change to:

Code: Select all

define command {

    command_name    notify-host-by-email
    command_line    /usr/bin/printf "ALERT" | /usr/local/nagios/etc/notify-teams.py "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$" "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host: $HOSTNAME$ State: $HOSTSTATE$ Address: $HOSTADDRESS$ Info: $HOSTOUTPUT$ Date/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" <WEBHOOKURL>
}

for both the host and service notifications. The addition of /usr/bin/printf "ALERT" was all it took

Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for posting your solution!
