 Good deal.
 
  You are right I have been unable to add the action url in the service
  definition, due to I have several hostnames for the specific service
  check.
 
  For example the below DiskE check I have several hosts defined for
  that
  check, how would I go by to replace johndoehost so the link will be
  correct?
 
  http://1xx.xx.xxx.xxx/nagios/cgi-
 bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2host=johndoehostser
  vice=DiskE

 Macro Substitution - How Macros Work
 
 Before Nagios executes a command, it will replace any macros it finds
 in the command definition with their corresponding values. This macro
 substitution occurs for all types of commands that Nagios executes -
 host and service checks, notifications, event handlers, etc.
 
 Certain macros may themselves contain other macros. These include the
 $HOSTNOTES$, $HOSTNOTESURL$, $HOSTACTIONURL$, $SERVICENOTES$,
 $SERVICENOTESURL$, and $SERVICEACTIONURL$ macros. 
 
 In your case, I expect the following should work --
 
 define service {
 ...
 action_urlhttp://1xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/nagios/cgi-
 bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2host=$HOSTNAME$service=DiskE
 ...
 }

 Hello,

 I have 2 problems that I am currently working on.

 1. In Nagios Web-interface and when someone acknowledges a problem,  
 the Author (your name) it is pre-populated with “Nagios” and cannot  
 be changed. We would like to be able to populate that with operators  
 that acknowledge the problem.
 - I have looked around on settings and permissions but can’t find  
 any solution.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configcgi.html

Lock Author Names

Format: lock_author_names=[0/1]
Example:lock_author_names=1

This option allows you to restrict users from changing the author name  
when submitting comments, acknowledgements, and scheduled downtime  
from the web interface. If this option is enabled, users will be  
unable to change the author name associated with the command request.

 * 0 = Allow users to change author names when submitting commands
 * 1 = Prevent users from changing author names (default)

 2. I wanted to have service action url in the acknowledge notes  
 being sent to operators from Nagios. The host action url works fine,  
 but for the service it does not populate the url in the notes.
 - Below is how my commands look.


 -- For service – this does not work with action url: ---
 notify-service-by-email /usr/bin/printf %b * CCO Nagios  
 Monitoring 3.0.1 *\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n 
 \nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:  
 $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n 
 \nOperator: $SERVICEACKAUTHOR$\nComment: $SERVICEACKCOMMENT$\nUrl:  
 $SERVICEACTIONURL$\nInfo:\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$ | /usr/bin/mail -s **  
 $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is  
 $SERVICESTATE$ ** $CONTACTEMAIL$

It does look like you're using the correct(ly spelled) macro. Are you  
sure that the service definition has action_url specified? Can you  
post it? I'd also enable debug mode in nagios.cfg and see if anything  
interesting showed up.

1. In Nagios Web-interface and when someone acknowledges a problem, the
Author (your name) it is pre-populated with Nagios and cannot be
changed. We would like to be able to populate that with operators that
acknowledge the problem.

As far as I know, that field is automatically populated through some
alignment of the users being set up as contacts within Nagios, those
contacts being set up in cgi.cfg, and having access set up through
htpasswd.users.  I kept the user name in htpasswd.users the same as the
contact_name in contacts.cfg, and the $NOTIFICATIONAUTHORALIAS$ macro
got correctly set to the user's contact alias (where I put their full
name).

It all worked for me the first time I tried it, so I didn't get any
experience fixing any wrong-ness, though.

Marc,

Thanks for you help!! I am half way there :=)

 Lock Author Names
 
 Format:   lock_author_names=[0/1]

That worked great, Recently was looking for something like this in the
cgi.cfg but never found the commands. I guess I should have looked closer in
the manual (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configcgi.html) cause
that made all sense. Adding that to the cgi.cfg worked perfect.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macros.html

Macro Substitution - How Macros Work

Before Nagios executes a command, it will replace any macros it finds  
in the command definition with their corresponding values. This macro  
substitution occurs for all types of commands that Nagios executes -  
host and service checks, notifications, event handlers, etc.

Certain macros may themselves contain other macros. These include the  
$HOSTNOTES$, $HOSTNOTESURL$, $HOSTACTIONURL$, $SERVICENOTES$,  
$SERVICENOTESURL$, and $SERVICEACTIONURL$ macros. 

In your case, I expect the following should work --

define service {
...
action_url  
http://1xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2host=$HOSTNAME$service=DiskE
...
}
