e-mail notification shows alias instead of hostname
Posted: Thu May 15, 2014 6:59 am
I give up, I've scrounged this forum, found numerous related issues and solutions, none of which apply to my situation.
We have some 30 XI servers, all setup following the same procedure.
Be that as it may, I see differences in email notifications. Some servers (most) show email notifications with the correct hostname in the email subject and body text, whereas others (a few large ones) show alias in the subject and body.
Like this:
So far I crosschecked with 4 servers:
- Notification Commands (notify-host-by-email and notify-service-by-email)
- Clicked username and Notification Messages
- Notification Settings Management
The variable used is %host%
I checked the actual Hosts and Services CFG files.
Everything is exactly the same, except for the final e-mail.
What am I missing??
For the record: we're using version 2012R2.5 and a few 2.9.
