Event handler Arguments

[wllewis]

In my nagios core configuration, I was able to create an event handler that passed an argument (application script) to the nrpe daemon on the client. This way I was able to write a single event_handler called 'restart_process' that could restart any processes instead of having individual ones for each process on the client and needing to create all the commands on the server side.

It appears I can't pass extra arguments when setting up the commands and selecting the event_handler via the XI interface. Nor did these import when I tried.

I was just wondering if this is possible?

thanks,

My original nagios definition was something like this:
event_handler restart_process!$SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ postfix

On the client the restart_process is defined with ARG1-3 and ARG7 and will restart the postfix process in this instance.

It looks like NagiosQL doesn't support command parameters being passed to host and service event handlers. We've started rewriting the Core Config Manager and I will add this as a feature request for implementation. I just opened a tracker request for it:
