Hi Brian,
I have the same problem generating action_url content dynamically from hostname, service_description and Custom variables. While variables in URL fields are correctly interpreted in Icinga classic ui, they aren't on their way to icinga Web. There is a new feature adressing this, hopefully released soon.
Kind regards,
Marco Hoyer

Hey,
The problem is that CVs are stored as host_cvname and host_cnvalue - and i don’t even think you can access them like this (as the db layout doesn’t make it very easy to fetch customvars on the fly). So without modifying the code It’s not possible to do it your way (which definitely makes sense), sorry.
Regards
