Nagios Support Forum

When NagiosXI sends out a recovery notification indicating that the service has recovered, can the notification also include what the original problem was that generated the alert? The engineer can then easily see what the original problem was and that it has now recovered.

Thanks,

Hi,

The notification messages are constructed from the standard macros available in Naigos Core. It's possible to customize the message to include the last state type, however, a macro is not available for the last host output. The plugin output should be in the message that triggered the initial notification.

The following guide has instructions for customizing notification messages.

Hi Greg,

I would recommend opening an enhancement request on Github for Nagios Core.
