Thanks. > Example service definition (all services have the same problem): I was hoping to get a more complete picture of the information below but you seem to have all of the really key parts within inherited templates that weren't included.

You _may_ have a typo at "Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/ $SERVICEDESC $" but the extra spaces may have been inadvertently added within the email to the list(?). Please post nagios.log NOTIFICATION examples where the problem has occurred for this contact. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
