Great, that's exactly what I was missing; I was unaware that it used the same normal notification commands. I was going nuts trying to figure where it would get such command and how I would even write one if it needed to be written. :)

I don't use nagios-3 yet but again, my reading of the code is that it uses the normal notification command{} specified for the contacts. If your host/service notification command{} definitions use the $NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$ macro, then the comment will be included in the e-mail. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macrolist.html#notificationcomment $NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$ A string containing the comment that was entered by the notification author. If the $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ macro is set to "DOWNTIMESTART" or "DOWNTIMEEND", this will be the comment entered by the user who scheduled downtime for the host or service. If the $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ macro is "ACKNOWLEDGEMENT", this will be the comment entered by the user who acknowledged the host or service problem. **If the $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ macro is "CUSTOM", this will be comment entered by the user who initated the custom host or service notification.** (emphasis mine) -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
