question about notifications

Hi Joel.

 

As everyone else has already said, the best way appears to be within the
agent, not the notification.

 

I found this useful for disk checks, where the thresholds in my
environment often vary from machine to machine, depending on how large
the disks are, likely fill rate, etc.

 

I wrote an SNMP disk check that puts the threshold in the email alerts: 

DISK WARNING - [Threshold=90%, 91% full,4.9gb free on /home]

   and also the Nagios status page:

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/image/429

   The bottom image is the HTML version (can toggle in the agent) that
includes the tiny blue image.  

   Mouse over that and the threshold pops up in a comment tag.

 

HTH

hey all,

is there a way to include the WARNING and CRITICAL thresholds in a
notification (without including the perfdata)?

There doesn't seem to be a macro for this.

i.e., i'd like my notification to show something like:

<body of email notification>
$SERVICEDESC$ is in $SERVICESTATE$ condition.

$SERVICEOUTPUT$
Current: $SERVICEVAL$ (Warning: $SERVICEWARNING$, Critical:
$SERVICECRITICAL$)

is there a way to do something like that?

cheers,

J
