Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

We want to trigger a handler whenever a critical alert is triggered from Nagios. This handler will call a script and output will display some macro values. we are trying to display contact email to whom the alert is sent from Nagios . We are using CONTACTEMAIL macro but it is displaying hostname.

Kindly let us know which macro need to be used and how it can be passed to a shell script using handler.

Can you show us the script you're using along with the event handler? I cannot think of a reason on why $CONTACTEMAIL$ would render the $HOSTNAME$ except for variables being passed improperly.
