Notification Formatting
Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2015 1:20 pm
Hey there,
Running latest XI on CentOS6. As of now, I've been creating a user account for each person I want to sent notifications to, but I'm realizing this is just asking for a security risk since alot of these 'users' don't need access to XI and only want the email notifications.
I've modified xi_host_notification_handler to have all of the fields I'd like, and formatted the notifications via the user settings. This part is OK.
With notify-host-by-email, I'm not able to get the formatting the same as xi_host_notification handler. Wondering if I could get a hand in getting for formatting correct?
xi_host_notification_handler
This is what an email notification looks like for a valid user account in XI:
This is what I have in 'notify-host-by-email':
The idea behind this is that we will start adding our clients to the NAGIOS notifications -- if we just add them as a 'user', then I have to manually copy/paste the formatting to their user settings. With the notify-host-by-email option, once we have the formatting set it should be simple to add a new 'email address' to receive notifications.
If you can think of a simpler way, I'm definitely open to it! We don't have the 'Enterprise' version of XI.
