Upgraded from 3.2.1 to 3.5 - macros broke?

[Jon Adcock]

Jason,
 
  Looking at your notify-by-email definition, there are a lot of escape
sequences ( \" ).  I think that's what's messing you up.  My
notify-service-by-email definition is shown below.  Start with that and
tweak it to your taste.
# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
	    command_name    notify-service-by-email
	    command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\n\nService check res
ults: $SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\n***** Nagios *****\n\nNotif
ication Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nAdditional Info:\n" | /usr/bin/mail
-s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTAL
IAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
	    }

To follow up on my own email. It looks like this is not just the
upgrade. I moved my 3.2.1 binary back in, and it still happens.
 
And I’ve found that it’s not limited to the notification commands:
 
[1378314473] SERVICE ALERT: Server86;Server86 -

[1378314573] HOST ALERT: Server86;DOWN;SOFT;4;check_ping: Invalid

(the periods are removed from the IPs)
I really have no idea what caused this, but I am reviewing my config
and changes I made while testing splunk, and opsgenie integration.

Greetings,
 
It seems during a recent upgrade, my notifications broke!  Well, I did
digging and found notification themselves are working, but the macro
variables are completely botched.
 
I took “notify-by-email”, and changed it to this:
/usr/bin/printf "\"%b\" \"Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$
($SERVICEACKAUTHOR$)\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\nComment:
$SERVICEACKCOMMENT$\" | /bin/mail -s \"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert -
$HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **\" $CONTACTEMAIL$" >>
/tmp/nagiosnotify.log
 
So, it will write the contents to a file instead of just directly piped
to mail.  Here is what I see:
 
"Notification Type: RECOVERY ($)
 
Service: $
Host: v-ww7b2
Address: 19216876178
State: $
 
Date/Time: W Sp 4 10:18:11 EDT 2013
 
Additional Info:
 
$
 
Comment: $" | /bin/mail -s "** RECOVERY alert - v-ww7b2/$ is $ **" bv
 
 
It seems like all of the variable are wrong. For instance, the host is
v-windows7lab2. 
The email address starts with “bv”, but it ends with a whole lot more!
 
I’m not sure what would be causing this, and would appreciate any
input.
 
Thanks!
