Hi all,

We have custom variables like this:

define host {
        use                 linux-server
        host_name           host.foo.com
        address             192.168.1.44
        _serverfunction     Oracle EBS R12 Application Server
        _serveradmin        Admins_Linux
        _serviceadmin       Admins_Oracle
        _userorg            ACME
}

Now we have our own script to send out the notifications. And, apparently, 
custom variables are not exported outside Nagios for safety.

To give an example of when we’re able to get the var data:
my $o_hostname         = $ENV{NAGIOS_HOSTNAME};

And this one doesn’t return anything:
my $o_hostfunction     = $ENV{NAGIOS__HOSTSERVERFUNCTION};

Could someone help finding this limitation in the source code? The environment 
we have is pretty strict and isolated, also the custom variables we use never 
contain any confidential information.
