Custom variables in notifcations return 1

[cockraml]

I am having problems having a custom variable show up in email alerts correctly. My point of contact line returns 1. The service alerts work fine. Thanks for your help.


Below is a snippet of my objects.cache:

Code: Select all

 
      define host {
        host_name      <hostname>
        address <ipaddress>       
       ... 
       retain_status_information       1
        retain_nonstatus_information    1
        _XIWIZARD       solaris
        _POC_GROUP      Unix Team
        }


define command {
        command_name    xi_host_notification_handler
        command_line    /usr/bin/php /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/handle_nagioscore_notification.php --notification-type=host --contact="$CONTACTNAME$" --contactemail="$CONTACTEMAIL$" --type=$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ --escalated="$NOTIFICATIONISESCALATED$" --author="$NOTIFICATIONAUTHOR$" --comments="$NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$" --host="$HOSTNAME$" --hostaddress="$HOSTADDRESS$" --hostalias="$HOSTALIAS$" --hostdisplayname="$HOSTDISPLAYNAME$" --hoststate=$HOSTSTATE$ --hoststateid=$HOSTSTATEID$ --lasthoststate=$LASTHOSTSTATE$ --lasthoststateid=$LASTHOSTSTATEID$ --hoststatetype=$HOSTSTATETYPE$ --currentattempt=$HOSTATTEMPT$ --maxattempts=$MAXHOSTATTEMPTS$ --hosteventid=$HOSTEVENTID$ --hostproblemid=$HOSTPROBLEMID$ --hostoutput="$HOSTOUTPUT$" --longhostoutput="$LONGHOSTOUTPUT$" --datetime="$LONGDATETIME$" --hostpocgroup "$_HOSTPOC_GROUP$"
        }

define command {
        command_name    xi_service_event_handler
        command_line    /usr/bin/php /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/handle_nagioscore_event.php --handler-type=service --host="$HOSTNAME$" --service="$SERVICEDESC$" --hostaddress="$HOSTADDRESS$" --hoststate=$HOSTSTATE$ --hoststateid=$HOSTSTATEID$ --hosteventid=$HOSTEVENTID$ --hostproblemid=$HOSTPROBLEMID$ --servicestate=$SERVICESTATE$ --servicestateid=$SERVICESTATEID$ --lastservicestate=$LASTSERVICESTATE$ --lastservicestateid=$LASTSERVICESTATEID$ --servicestatetype=$SERVICESTATETYPE$ --currentattempt=$SERVICEATTEMPT$ --maxattempts=$MAXSERVICEATTEMPTS$ --serviceeventid=$SERVICEEVENTID$ --serviceproblemid=$SERVICEPROBLEMID$ --serviceoutput="$SERVICEOUTPUT$" --longserviceoutput="$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$"
        }

Below is a snippet of the email I receive:

Code: Select all

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: <hostname>
State: DOWN
...
Point of Contact: 1

Attached is what is in admin -> Notification management

Could we see the xi_service_notification_handler definition that is working?

[cockraml]

This is the command for the service notifications. This is working, just not the host one.

Code: Select all

define command {
	command_name	xi_service_notification_handler
	command_line	/usr/bin/php /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/handle_nagioscore_notification.php --notification-type=service --contact="$CONTACT
NAME$" --contactemail="$CONTACTEMAIL$" --type=$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ --escalated="$NOTIFICATIONISESCALATED$" --author="$NOTIFICATIONAUTHOR$" --comments
="$NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$" --host="$HOSTNAME$" --hostaddress="$HOSTADDRESS$" --hostalias="$HOSTALIAS$" --hostdisplayname="$HOSTDISPLAYNAME$" --servic
e="$SERVICEDESC$" --hoststate=$HOSTSTATE$ --hoststateid=$HOSTSTATEID$ --servicestate=$SERVICESTATE$ --servicestateid=$SERVICESTATEID$ --lastservice
state=$LASTSERVICESTATE$ --lastservicestateid=$LASTSERVICESTATEID$ --servicestatetype=$SERVICESTATETYPE$ --currentattempt=$SERVICEATTEMPT$ --maxatt
empts=$MAXSERVICEATTEMPTS$ --serviceeventid=$SERVICEEVENTID$ --serviceproblemid=$SERVICEPROBLEMID$ --serviceoutput="$SERVICEOUTPUT$" --longserviceo
utput="$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$" --datetime="$LONGDATETIME$" --servicepocgroup="$_SERVICEPOC_GROUP$"
	}

[abrist]

Ah, I failed a literacy check, you are missing an "=" in your host handler:

--hostpocgroup "$_HOSTPOC_GROUP$"

Needs to be:

Code: Select all

--hostpocgroup="$_HOSTPOC_GROUP$"

That was it. Thank you!!!
