Nagios Reporting Alias Name instead of Hostname

My email notifications are displaying the NAGIOS alias rather than the actual hostname. Where is this defined?

Host: NSOF Family of Service - FOS2

Thanks!@

The alias can found in the object definitions:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... tions.html
You can change the notification command to use the hostname macro instead of the alias:
