Convert attachement bin to txt

[vinothsethuram]

Hi,

I'm using $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ to get the complete details of the issue.Notification/Alert email is attaching the file in .bin type. Is there any possibility to get the attachment as .txt file or sending the issue details in email body itself without attachment

Regards

That's very odd. Is the .bin file human-readable text?

[vinothsethuram]

Yes, bin file is human readable in Windows but not in mac os

[tmcdonald]

What attachment are you referring to? Can you PM me the file in question?

[vinothsethuram]

I'm using $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ which attaches the issue details. The attached file type in .bin.

I'm not entirely clear on what's happening here since (as far as I know) Nagios should not be attaching anything in the first place. Can you post the full email notification command you have defined? And can you please PM a copy of the .bin attachment?

[vinothsethuram]

define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$\n " | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}


This is the command used to send email. If I use $SERVICEOUTPUT$ then there is no attachment in email ,but getting limited details. If I use $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ then email is attaching a bin file which has complete issue details

I tried to PM you, but couldn't attach the bin file

Can you just change the extension to .txt and PM it?

Seems to be perfectly readable. Try changing your command to show $SERVICEOUTPUT$ right before the $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$:

Code: Select all

define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$\n " | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
