Good Day

Users Service Notification Messages for email notifications for user contains for following Variable

ContactGroup = %contactgroup% |


This Variable is defined in that specific service

_CONTACTGROUP Oracle Group

But this is not getting reflected and the group it picks up is from the default template and not what is explicitly mentioned.

At first I thought its the space " " inbetween the name but when I added an underscore that the problem still remains.

However I have other services that work well but there are a large number for which the custom variables are not reflected in the email notifications as it is suppose to.

Kind regards

Go to CCM->Services-><your service>Misc Settings tab->Manage Variable Definitions and show us a screenshot of this page.

Still in the CCM, go to Commands->type "noti" in the search bar and hit "Enter" to view the notification commands. Post the command that you use to send alerts, i.e. xi_host_notification_handler, xi_service_notification_handler, notify-host-by-email, notify-service-by-email, etc.

Click on the username in the upper right corner->Notification Messages, and show us the part where you have %contactgroup%.

Also, show us one of the actual email alerts that you received, which should've contained the macro.

The same custom variable _CONTACTGROUP works on some services but not on all.

Please post the other items lmiltchev asked for

Please copy the whole command line and past in the post as it will run far off the screen for a screen shot
