NAGIOS 3: Adjusting fields which appear in the default nagios log

[Traiano Welcome]

Hmmm. For the interim we've had to modify our NAGIOS source and play around with this line:

---
asprintf(&temp_buffer,"HOST ALERT: %s;$HOSTSTATE$;$HOSTSTATETYPE$;$HOSTATTEMPT$;%s\n",hst->name,(hst->plugin_output==NULL)?"":hst->plugin_output);
---

Although, we'd really like to avoid this and have it be a configuration option in the standard nagios.cfg ... I hereby wish this to the wish-list ;-)

Regards,
Traiano

Subject: [Nagios-users] NAGIOS 3: Adjusting fields which appear in the default nagios log

Hi All

I'm sending nagios logs to a 3rd party application (Netcool) for processing, and there is a requirement for the IP address of the monitored device to appear in the ALERT and NOTIFY log lines for host and service statuses. Where would I adjust which fields appear in the nagios log lines?

A typical host ALERT log line on my installation looks like this:

---
Mar 17 11:51:42 nagserver nagios: HOST ALERT: <hostname-x>;UP;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 260.81 ms
---

I'd like an extra field to appear after <hostname-x> indicating the IP of the host. If possible, I'd even like to insert  $PARENT for the host as a field somewhere here.

Thanks in Advance
Traiano
