hostalias macro from service

Post by WillemDH »

Hello,

Just noticed there does not seem to exist a service macro for hostalias? See the https://www.google.be/url?sa=t&rct=j&q= ... 7x6olQI_bg
document. I tried adding %hostalias% but unfortunately it doesn't work. As ou hostalias contains the address and other info, I would need to send this info, also from services. It's weird as I can see almost any other host related info as a macro except hostalias.

Or am I missing something?

Grtz

The %hostalias% has been added to services in the actions component. The new version of the component should be available by tomorrow. Then you can upgrade the "Actions" component via the web UI. I will be updating the document. Thanks!

I was checking for an updated component and it seems some Nagios services are down. I get this:
Could not download component version list from Nagios Server, check Internet Connnectivity
at work and at home. So must be some issue at Nagios side. Grtz

Are you still having issues updating the actions component?

The hostalias was added to service macro in ver. 1.6.2. I am currently using 1.6.4. What is the version of the Actions component that you are currently using?
