I get emails but I can't fill them with any information from the specific alarms

[Jorge Gil]

Hi again!

Thank you for the quick answer, to begin with...


enable_environment_macros was already 1...

I have tried $SERVICESTATE$ ($hoststate$ for the host notification), and i
got "WARNING" in the email body... you cant believe how happy that has made
me!


I copy one service definition


define host{

use generic-switch

host_name N7-Rack2

alias Backbone N7

icon_image multilayer_switch.gif

statusmap_image multilayer_switch.gd2

address 192.168.4.8

parents ns500.bne.es

}

define service{

use generic-service
host_name nagios, BNS31, BNS32, BNS49, BNS50, E1-MUSEO, E1-MUSICA_1,
E1-MUSICA_2, E1-PROCESO_1, E1-PROCESO_2, E1-PROCESO_3, E1-PUBLICACIONES,
E1-Ref_Biblio1, E1-Ref_Biblio2, E1-BELLAS_ARTES, E1-GERENCIA_1,
E1-GERENCIA_2, E1-JARDIN_NORTE, E1-JARDIN_SUR, E1-JORGE_JUAN,
E1-LABORATORIO, E1-MANUSCRITOS, E1-Salon italiano, E1-SALON_LECTURA, E1-UCI,
N7-Rack2, N7-Rack3, ns500.bne.es, Salida LAN1 privado, Salida LAN2 publico,
router alcobendas principal, Rediris, Router interministerial en BNE, Router
interministerial en Cultura, Balanceador minos.bne.es, Bluecoat 1, Bluecoat
2, SW1 Fujitsu, SW2 Fujitsu, SW3 Fujitsu, SW4 Fujitsu


(and a few lines below...)

service_description PING

check_command check_ping!200.0,20%!600.0,60%

normal_check_interval 5

retry_check_interval 1

}

and what i see in the nagios webserver:

any idea how to get all those dollar values apart of that, please?

thanks so much!
