Fixing Nagios' email alerts

[Elmar van Mourik]

Phil,

This is setup in misccommands.cfg:

# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-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:
$DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "**
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ a
lert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

The subject is (/usr/bin/mail -s):
"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **"

The "To" fiels is $CONTACTEMAIL$
This is depending on the contactgroups.cfg and contacts.cfg and the
contact_group in your service config.
