Hi Team,

We are looking for options if we can update Title/Output Values on Events ( API - Statehistory ) to reflect more meaning Event Messages. For Example , below is the Event Message that comes if ping fails :

"output": "CRITICAL - <hostaddress>: rta nan, lost 100%"

We want to change it to "CRITICAL - <hostaddress> HOST DOWN - 100% Ping Failure" . Let me know if this is possible and if so which configuration files i need to learn to edit ?

Thank you !

This is not possible as what is output comes directly from the plugins executed.

The only way to accomplish this would be to re-create all the plugins you use modifying the text within the plugins themselves

Got it. Thanks !
