My plugins rely on some macros to be available as environment variables and I just switched my first nagios qa environment to naemon which was pretty smooth except for the macro part. I found in the documentation of naemon (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.naemon.org/documentation/usersguide/macros.html">http://www.naemon.org/documentation/usersguide/macros.html</a>) that I should specify my macros in the command and I understand the logic behind not evaluating all macros: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> define command { command_name my_old_notification_script command_line NAGIOS_HOSTNAME="$HOSTNAME$" /usr/local/bin/notifiy.pl ... } But this doesnt work for me when my plugin is run naemon says this on the service output. <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> (No output on stdout) stderr: execvp(NAEMON_HOSTNAME=SC_cswitch01, ...) failed. errno is 2: No such file or directory Is there something wrong with my setup or is the documentation wrong? <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> define host { host_name linuxbox address 192.168.1.1 _MACADDRESS 00:01:02:03:04:05 ... } Also it would be great if at least the custom macros could be made available as environment variables. They will never be many so I think from a performance standpoint they should not cause to much overhead. Are they available as environment variables now? Thanks for all the hard work you put into this and I really appreciate naemon which I anticipate will have a much faster development rate than nagios and already includes more modern components than nagios-core (like thruk and livestatus).
