Nagios Notifications in CC and/or BCC

Post by gomatze »

Hello there,

I have asimple question.
Is it possible to set Contacts for specific Services in CC or BCC while beeing TO Contact in others?
Do you think that this would be a good Idea in a later Version?

We run a global system in which multiple providers are tasked with responding to Problems.
They have now asked to be notified also about Problems of other providers but in CC so they can make out the difference in the Mailheader.

Hi @gomatze,

Make sense and I'd be happy to submit a feature request for this functionaoty. Do you know which notifications handers you are using?

If you're using the older Sendmail (i.e. Nagios Core ), you could modify the mail command to CC certain contacts.

See: https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =7&t=50728

Good Morning Benjamin,

yes, modifying the command could be possible. But then the control of who gets which notification in CC is not so comfortable for the end Users.
I'd like it much more to be configurable like the standard contacts.

I'll just wait for the next mayor update ;)
