how macros on event handlers work

[Marc Ismael]

Hi,

I'm slightly unsure about how i used event_handler in this situation

based on the configuration above, im expecting a passive check to timeout
after 10 mins. Then check_command will kick in,  but it just  returns
WARNING which is HARD (i've set max_check_attempts to 1). it will then
execute the event_handler, passing the macros $SERVICESTATE$
$SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ $HOSTNAME$ as argument to
check_by_ssh.pl. But based on the log output above, these macros contain
'null'? i'm not sure why but im pretty sure macros are working since
$HOSTNAME$ was passed correctly.

Please give me a hint on what im missing.

Thanks,
Marc
