Where in the docs...

[Andy Shellam]

Hi David,

This explains how macros work:  
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macros.html
This is the list of macros available:  
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macrolist.html

I assume you're using Nagios 3.0 - replace 3_0 as appropriate in the URL 
if you're not.

Hope this helps,
Andy
