Hi all, I'm attempting to include a duration readout in an email notification. I've created an email template but do not see a variable for "duration". My commands (notify-host-by-email, notify-service-by-email) appear to be formatted as the old default email template....not my new one.

Here's what I'd like to have work

Code: Select all

%alertsummary%

Notification Type: %type%
Host: %host%
State: %hoststate% (%HOSTDURATION%)
Address: %hostaddress%
Info: %hostoutput%
Date/Time: %datetime%

Respond: %responseurl%
Nagios URL: %xiserverurl%

Here's what I get

Code: Select all

Nagios has detected a problem with this host.

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: CONF-1
State: DOWN (%HOSTDURATION%)
Address: CONF-1
Info: check_icmp: Failed to resolve CONF-1
Date/Time: 2018-09-17 10:11:29

what you have here looks like a template for the xi_host_notification_handler and xi_service_notification_handler, NOT what can be uses with notify-host-by-email, notify-service-by-email. These %macro% are special to this particular notification handler. You could add the duration macros $HOSTDURATION$ and $SERVICEDURATION$ using the following instructions starting on page 7
