Nagios Alerts in DBCS

[dhineshkumar]

Hi,

I have installed Nagios core 4.x. Now i have a requirement to send alerts in DBCS format to alert integrator.
Is it possible to send the alerts in DBCS.


Thanks.

Can I please get some clarification on what DBCS is supposed to do? I'm not familiar with it. You can change your /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg to whatever you like.

By default, core uses these commands to send out alerts:

Code: Select all

define command{
        command_name    notify-host-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-service-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }
 

Changing those to whatever you need in your situation seems like it would be the easiest fix.

DBCS format is send out to alert integrator, so it can be converted in to Japanese or Chinese.
I have gone through these, but could not find a way to send the alert in DBCS or Japanese format.

Unfortunately, it is something you are most likely going to have to script.
