Matching that with the given config
define command {
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Icinga
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional

Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
register 1
}
you can extract all the details to look for your host and service
affected, and then look up the config for the service definition. Likely
there's are contacts missing. Question aside - during config
verification of Icinga core, it should warn about hosts/services with no
contacts defined - is that the case?

A contactgroup consists of contactgroup members (contacts), so Icinga
will figure out who to notify if you just put a contactgroup instead of
a single contact to your service definition. This behaviour is part of
the notification event, also checking if a contact is viable to be
notified (notification_period, etc).
So you're safe after fixing your configuration in 1.6.x - that being
said, you probably now figure why that change was made to 1.8 - it will
remove the macrostring, not sending any mail (and your (mail) log will
alarm you that the command invocation to /bin/mail is missing a
recipient too), as well as the core will output a warning to syslog that
this happened. It may be annoying as f*ck, but better fix the configs in
the first place, before hunting this 'feature' down ;-)
kind regards,
Michael
