Change Notification Type From "PROBLEM"

[vornado]

Good morning, all.

Linux 3.10.0-1160.31.1.el7.x86_64
Nagios XI 5.8.4
Host with NCPA plugin: Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2

I have a monitor that notifies me when files have been uploaded to a directory. In the notification email, the "Notification Type" is "PROBLEM". Since this is not really a problem, I would like to change it -- for this particular monitor only -- to something like "NOTIFICATION". Is this possible?

Thanks.

Hi Steve,
How are you doing?
The only way I know how to change from "PROBLEM" to "NOTIFICATION" is:

Click on your username at the upper right corner of Nagios XI page > Notification Messages > "Email" tab
Change "%TYPE%" to NOTIFICATION .... please NOTE, this will change ALL your future notifications to says "NOTIFICATION".

Here's the "%TYPE% definition:

I'm very sorry, but I could not find a better way where you can custom the notification for just this ONE particular service check.

Thanks for your reply, Vinh. I already know I could change it for all emails. I was hoping I could customize it for one service check. I guess the value of the variable %TYPE% cannot be changed programmatically in my plugin.

May I close this thread?

Yes, you may close the thread -- thanks for your help. If you could possibly pass it on as a feature request, that would be great.
