Hi Team,

Is there a way to modify the subject and body of the alert for a particular service group?
I have a contact on which I get various alerts. However there are few alerts which are highly critical and I want to mention that in subject and body of the alert for those particular services or service groups only.

Is that possible?

Not currently.

You could technically do by writing your own notification handlers scripts that would perform the logic/sending but that would require you write that functionality.

I can submit a feature request for this on your behalf if you'd like? Please keep in mind that the decision to implement the enhancement is at the discretion of our development team.

Yes please submit a feature request. We have few service group alerts which we want to mark as critical so that the team getting the alerts knows those are high priority.

I've submitted the request with a link back to this thread:

FR: XI - Notifications Templates - Add the functionality to add specific notification templates for specific hosts/hostgroups/services/servicegroups so that the notification messages can be customized for them

Thanks!

No problem, let us know when we're okay to lock this up and mark it as resolved.

can i reopen a closed thread?
If yes, then you can lock this one, I can follow up later for the change request.

I'll leave it open for you, there may be an automated process that locks it after a certain time, if that occurs just create a new post or reach or PM me and I'll unlock for you.
