4.0 upgrade enable_environment_macros=1 not working.

[trey85stang]

Im prepping for a 4.0 upgrade and everything works perfectly except for the following option:

enable_environment_macros=1

I use the html email script: from http://nagios.frank4dd.com/howto/nagios ... ations.htm which relies on the environment macros. However with 4.0 all these variables are empty.

I even tried this generic bash script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

echo "`date` - start" >>/tmp/macros.out
echo $NAGIOS_NOTIFICATIONTYPE >>/tmp/macros.out
env >> /tmp/macros.out
echo "`date` - stop" >>/tmp/macros.out
echo >>/tmp/macros.out

macros.out is the following (with a little stripped out)

Code: Select all

So it appears either these macros no longer work or I am doing something wrong. Any ideas?

They definitely are still available in 4. It seems that the only one not working is nagios_notificationtype, which just to verify, you were executing this via nagios as a host or service check? Also how about enclosing the macro is quotes?

This macros.sh script is defined as the contact service command.

Im confused on what you mean about enclosing the macro in quotes? The point of environment macros is that all those variables become available to the shell environment. env should be spitting out a dozens of them.

btw, I have compiled this on multiple centos6.4 machines with the same results. Can anyone else confirm that they work?

Have you set "use_large_installation_tweaks" to "1" in your nagios.cfg? If so, some environment variables have been disabled:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... tsnew.html
If not, you may have found a bug. Report it to http://tracker.nagios.org

I did have use_large_installation_tweaks set to one, i rolled it back to 0, but I am seeing the same thing. Ill report it. Thank you.

No problem. Could you link the bug from tracker here for posterity's sake?

That is a good idea, looks like I am not the only one any longer!

Going to lock this, as it has been posted to another thread and bug tracker ticket created.
