Quick clip from the Mon man page:
As with monitor programs, alert programs are invoked with environment
variables defined by the user in the service definition, in addition to
the following which are explicitly set by the server:
Here's an example from one of my configs:
service freespace
description Is there 5GB free? Enough inodes?
depend SELF:ping
MIBDIRS=/usr/local/share/snmp/local-mibs:/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
interval 7m
monitor netappfree.monitor
In this case, the monitor script won't work properly without MIBDIRS
defined. You can use this feature to pass environment vars into your
script, so the same alert script could take different actions or send
different messages based on the contents of an environment var.
