Hi all,
I run into the same problem with a little add-on: one mail is
properly formatted, the second one has fields command, output, perfdata,
service empty and state field is -> (PROBLEM) or -> (RECOVERY)
without "memories" of previous state.
I have this issues on three site (one master and two slaves) running OMD
1.10 on CentOS 6.4
I did all configuration via WATO and a deep search for
differences/duplications in .mk files and/or in icinga hosts cfg didn't turn
the light on.
Thanks in advance
Andrea
