Very odd. The line

Code: Select all

long_plugin_output=agios

makes me think that the "n" in "nagios" got escaped as a newline somewhere...

We don't fully understand what is happening but I think it is related to escaping. While this is not a full solution, this is what we have right now:

Your SMB share name is "\\stor2\nagios" so we think the "\nagios" portion is becoming a newline character, hence the "agios" output above. Basically in your notification command you are using %b to output your service information, and when using %b you are allowed to make newlines with \n and tabs with \t, for example. So what you want to do is modify your command to the following:

Code: Select all

# 'notify-service-by-email' custom SMB command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email-smb
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b%s%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" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

This will create a special notification command that should handle the newline correctly, since %s does not do escaping. Unfortunately since notification commands are attached to contacts you will need to create a new contact (it can be a clone of an existing one) and give it this new command, then set this new contact as the contact for the misbehaving service. A small price to pay, but it should work. Let us know.
