How can I add additional email addressess

How can I add additional email addressess, for a single contact?
Contact - addressx
Address directives are used to define additional "addresses" for the contact. These addresses can be anything - cell phone numbers, instant messaging addresses, etc. Depending on how you configure your notification commands, they can be used to send out an alert o the contact. Up to six addresses can be defined using these directives (address1 through address6). The $CONTACTADDRESSx$ macro will contain this value.
Parameter name: addressx (x as number from 1 to 6)
Required: no
How can I make the above happen? Can this be done through Core Config Manager, and if so how?

Thank you for the reply.
Just making sure that I don't have to do any configuration changes, as the information message next to the "Addon Address 1" stated I needed to. Unless that is for information purposes of what goes on in the back
round?

Correct, as mentioned in the bubble,
"Depending on how you configure your notification commands, they can be used to send out an alert o the contact."
..
"The $CONTACTADDRESSx$ macro will contain this value."
So depending on what you are trying to accomplish, you would need to modify the command you are calling in
Host command*
Service command*
to incorporate $CONTACTADDRESSx$
These commands can be found by name in Core Config Manager -> commands

Ok Perfect, then this is what I have, for one of my "notify_service_by_email":
/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios Monitor XI *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
Would I have to add, "$CONTACTADDRESSx$" to the above line with the x = 6 or the amount of email addresses I would like to reference, and if so where in the above line? I tried adding it at the end after "$CONTACTEMAIL$", but didn't work. Should I use commas to separate $CONTACTEMAIL$ and $CONTACTADDRESSx$?
Thank you for your time.

Yes comma seperated.
You should be able to do something like
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios Monitor XI *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -c $CONTACTADDRESS1$,$CONTACTADDRESS1$,$CONTACTADDRESS2$,$CONTACTADDRESS3$,$CONTACTADDRESS4$,$CONTACTADDRESS5$,$CONTACTADDRESS6$ -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
