Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I am sending emails with Nagios and I would like to put into the mail format the contact group that is defined in the Value CONTACTGROUP ie you have set the contactgroup_name

You can define custom variables in configs by starting them with an underscore like so _CUSTOMVARIABLE "[email protected]" and the referencing it as $_CUSTOMVARIABLE$ where needed. Try looking at the understanding macros and how they work page for more detail
