You need to append "NAGIOS_" eg. NAGIOS_NOTIFICATIONTYPE. And also make sure you do "enable_environment_macros=1" in nagios.cfg<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Ruslan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 12:32 PM, Assaf Flatto <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nagios@flatto.net" target="_blank">nagios@flatto.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The marco's are internal to nagios and will not be read from an
external text file .<br>
<br>
there is a way to make nagios macros available to external commands
( look for "macros" in the nagios.cfg file)<br>
<br>
But what you are trying to do with the message.txt file will fail to
work as the SendEmail script most likely do not have access to the
nagios internal macros and there for will not expand them .<div><div class="h5"><br>

How can I access Nagios variables like <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$,
</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">$SHORTDATETIME$,
etc from a text file passed in a command?<br>
<br>
I have one command which is:<br>
/usr/local/bin/sendEmail -o message-file=/etc/nagios/message.txt
... bla bla bla<br>
<br>
And inside message.txt I have those variables. However when I am
notified, I am not getting variable's values, instead, it gives
me the plain string "</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$",
etc.<br>
<br>
Googling didn't help too much.<br>
<br>
Thanks for all help on this!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Bruno<br>
