Dear Expert

Please ref attached.

While comparing Host Fields, there is FOUR and will use all of them for NOCSCREEN, Notification but in the SERVICE Config, we found only THREE.

Is there any hidden field which is not documented and can be show in CONFIG SERVICE?

Display Name we will send to our Customer and 4th missing field say : service_link_id (which we will use internally within company (not to expose to customer).

Regards

The services only have three fields because they do not have addresses. Instead they are attached directly to a host and use that IP address instead.

Dear tmcdonald

Actually my intention was that there should be four fields. The Display_Name should be given two times as below

Public_Display_Name <<< which will give our customer to view it
Private_Display_Name <<<< just to use internally within our company

as you cannot do that, just add one more 64 character field, Nagios user will decide how to use it , give any name

Regards

I would suggest adding custom variables, and you would add them within CCM, service management, misc settings tab, manage variable definitions.

Here is a guide for custom macros: http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... iables.pdf, look at the section "Using Custom Service Macros in Notifications"
