Expanding Custom Variables

[Stringham, Steven]

I am trying to monitor multiple volumes on a NetApp system. The format of the command requires a hostname:volumename format. I want to reduce my commands/service definitions to a minimum.  My initial thought was to have a generic service definition, that gets more specific with a sub definition.  When the command is run, it seems like it is not passing the custom variable, but rather leaving a single $ behind where the variable ought to be.

Any ideas on
1) fixing my syntax?
2) Doing this somehow easier?


        NAF UNKNOWN - No Snapmirror with source or destination "myhostname:$" found!

 define service{
 name NA_SnapMirror
 check_command netapp_snapmirror
        use  GenericService_Core
 normal_check_interval 1000
 max_check_attempts 300
 register 0
 contact_groups CoreServers
}

define service {
 use NA_SnapMirror
 _navolume myvolumename
 service_description SnapMirror_groups
 hosts myhostname
 }

define command{
command_name  netapp_snapmirror
command_line $USER1$/check_naf.py -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $USER8$ snapmirror,$HOSTNAME$:$_SERVICEnavolume$,$USER25$
}
