Hi
I'm looking to get more information in my notificiation emails. Specifically,
I'd like to get the text of Windows server Eventlogs into the body of the
email. This information is coming across to the nagios server and can be found
in the log file.
See example below:
Feb 5 15:08:36 sbc-omega-test nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION:
nagiosadmin;hq-test-01;EventLog TempDB start
chk;WARNING;notify-service-by-email;informational: MSSQLSERVER: Starting up
database ReportServerTempDB. (384), eventlog: 384 warning
#
I'd like to get the information
MSSQLSERVER: Starting up database ReportServerTempDB. (384), eventlog: 384
warning
into the body of the email too. However, all I get is:
***** Nagios *****
Notification Type: PROBLEM
Service: EventLog TempDB start chk
Host: Windows test server
Address: 150.122.120.29
State: WARNING
Date/Time: Fri Feb 5 15:08:36 GMT 2010
Additional Info:
I had hoped I could resolve this by changing the $SERVICEOUTPUT$ to
$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ in the notify-service-by-email command definition (see
below).
# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional
Info:\n\n$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service
Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
However this did not give any change in the output. That's all I've changed on
the server. Can anyone give me pointers as to what else I need to change?
Regards
Ewan
