Print only one line of text Nagios will only grab the first line of text from STDOUT when it notifies contacts about potential problems. If you print multiple lines, you're out of luck (though this will be a feature of Nagios 3). Remember, keep your output short and to the point. Output should be in the format: SERVICE STATUS: Information text I'm using Nagios 3.2.0 and I still can't print multiple lines to be send with the notification email. What am I missing ?? My plugin : $PEER=$argv[1]; $LINE=exec('/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "sip show peers" | grep -w "'.$PEER.'"'); if (!empty($LINE)) { if (strpos("$LINE"," OK ")) { $OUTPUT="OK: ".$LINE."\n"; echo $OUTPUT; exit (0); } elseif (strpos("$LINE","UNREACHABLE")) { $OUTPUT="CRITICAL: ".$LINE."\n"; $OUTPUT.="line 2"; echo $OUTPUT; exit (2); } } On commandline : bash-3.2# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_asterisk_sip_peer.php my_peer CRITICAL: my_peer (Unspecified) D N 0 UNREACHABLE line 2 My notification : # 'notify-service-by-email' command definition define command{ command_name notify-service-by-email command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nType : $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mutt -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ } The email I receive : ***** Nagios ***** Type: PROBLEM Service: SIP_peer_mypeer Host: Asterisk Address: ip_address State: CRITICAL Additional Info: CRITICAL: my_peer (Unspecified) D N 0 UNREACHABLE You see that $SERVICEOUTPUT$ consists of only 1 line...
