Subjectline:

Click on the username in the upper right corner, then go to "Notification Messages" and check what you have in the "Host/Service Alert Subject". You should have something like this:

Code: Select all

%type% Host Alert - %hostalias% is %hoststate%
and

Code: Select all

%type% Service Alert - %hostalias%/%service% is %servicestate%
I assume you are missing the "is %hoststate%" part...

You either need to:
1) Configure a template for the contact that includes the notification commands.
OR:
2) Configure notification commands for the contact --> CCM --> Contact in question --> Alert settings.
If the contact is also and XI user:
Manage Host Notification Commands:

Code: Select all

xi_host_notification_handler
Manage Service Notification Commands:

Code: Select all

xi_service_notification_handler
If the contact is just a core contact and not associated to an XI user:
Manage Host Notification Commands:

Code: Select all

notify-host-by-email
Manage Service Notification Commands:

Code: Select all

notify-service-by-email
