No, the $CONTACT*$ macros are not available to event handlers. See the
chart at --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html


> Any other suggestion?

Why not make a contact whose notification command runs
send_nagiostrap_host and associate them with that host? You could also
build in logic into send_nagiostrap_host to gather that information from
some other source or the nagios config files themselves if the contact
route isn't acceptable to you.

No, they're just not available to the event_handler subsystem at all.
