Email Notifications Marked as High Importance

When I receive email notifications from Nagios for Warnings and Critical Host/Services the email message is marked as High Importance. Is there a way to change that so only Critical events are marked that way? I have a rule setup for Nagios messages to get dropped to a Nagios folder within Outlook and it would be nice to just look at the High Importance red ! ones first but the way it is now they all are marked that way.

You will be able to enable/disable the "high priority" emails in the next release of XI. For the time being, you could try modifying the "/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/utils-email.inc.php" file (after line 90).

I am not sure what I would add or modify within that code.
Is there a guesstimate on the next release date?

I don't have an exact date, but looking at our usual release cycle and taking into consideration some testing tasks we have gotten recently, it can't be too far off. A few months, it's going to be a fairly major release.

OK. WIll this be the one that has Active Directory integration for users?
The one where no local accounts will be necessary?

Local users are necessary, but will be able to be automatically imported and synced with AD.

I don't want to foobar our system so what would I need to modify within that PHP file?

You can try commenting out the whole section (dont' delete anything), so it is going to look like this:
// if (isset($opts["type"]) && $opts["type"] == "PROBLEM") {
// For most clients expecting the Priority header:
// 1 = High, 2 = Medium, 3 = Low
// $mail->Priority = 1;
// MS Outlook custom header
// May set to "Urgent" or "Highest" rather than "High"
// $mail->AddCustomHeader("X-MSMail-Priority: High");
// Not sure if Priority will also set the Importance header:
// $mail->AddCustomHeader("Importance: High");
// }
Let me know if this helped.

This removed the ! Important identifier for all the email messages. I was looking to have the ! Important for just Critical messages and not the Warnings.

You could try changing it to:
Code: Select all
if (strpos($mail->Subject, 'CRITICAL')) {
// For most clients expecting the Priority header:
// 1 = High, 2 = Medium, 3 = Low
$mail->Priority = 1;
// MS Outlook custom header
// May set to "Urgent" or "Highest" rather than "High"
$mail->AddCustomHeader("X-MSMail-Priority: High");
// Not sure if Priority will also set the Importance header:
$mail->AddCustomHeader("Importance: High");
}
