Hi all I'm wondering why notification comand_line's are so complicated (i.e. long and hard to read). Most if not all relevant macro's are available as environment variables, according to the documentation http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/macrolist.html
Wouldn't it be much easier to define a script to handle the sending of a notification (doesn't matter what type)? The script could then take the information from ICINGA_* variables and if one isn't exported, request it from the commandline. Then the script can use all that to produce an e-mail or sms or whatever. e.g. instead of: command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$SHORTDATETIME$ - Info:\n\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n\n$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ - Host $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$\n\n(Address: $HOSTADDRESS$ Displayname: $HOSTDISPLAYNAME$)\n\nNotes: $NOTIFICATIONAUTHOR$ $NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$\n$HOSTNOTESURL$\n\nUrl:\nhttp://ICINGAHOST/icinga/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=$HOSTNAME$\n\n"; | /usr/bin/mail -s "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ - $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$" $CONTACTEMAIL$ why not: command_line $USER1$/send_email with /usr/local/icinga/libexec/send_email: #!/bin/bash if [[ -z "$ICINGA_CONTACTEMAIL" ]]; then exit 1 fi mutt -s "$ICINGA_NOTIFICATIONTYPE - $ICINGA_HOSTNAME is $ICINGA_HOSTSTATE" "$ICINGA_CONTACTEMAIL" <<EOF Info: $ICINGA_HOSTOUTPUT $ICINGA_NOTIFICATIONTYPE - Host $ICINGA_HOSTNAME is $ICINGA_HOSTSTATE Address: $ICINGA_HOSTADDRESS Displayname: $ICINGA_HOSTDISPLAYNAME Notes: $ICINGA_NOTIFICATIONAUTHOR $ICINGA_NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT $ICINGA_HOSTNOTESURL Url: http://ICINGAHOST/icinga/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=$ICINGA_HOSTNAME"; EOF I've yet to try it, but I was also wondering how to force icinga to send a notification so I could test it...? /Simon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
