[feature-request] Notification recipients about nagioscore HOT 8 CLOSED

To clarify, an appropriate name for the macro might be $NOTIFIEDCONTACTS$ which could be a comma-separated list of contact aliases, names, or emails. Possibly three macros, one for each.

from nagioscore.

@wh1test - The $NOTIFICATIONRECIPIENTS$ already exists

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/4/en/macrolist.html#notificationrecipients

from nagioscore.

That's just the shortname though, doesn't list the email or full name. I think that was the intention.

from nagioscore.

But once you have the shortname you can get the other info

e.g.
$CONTACTEMAIL:john$
$CONTACTNAME:john$

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/4/en/macros.html

from nagioscore.

Or,

$CONTACTEMAIL:contactgroup_name:,$
$CONTACTNAME:contactgroup_name:,$

from nagioscore.

Did not know about the delimiter trick, thanks! So to take it a step further, could this be done?

$CONTACTEMAIL:$CONTACTGROUPNAME$:,$

In other words, can you use one macro to build up another on-demand macro? I would imagine this would break the parsing of the dollar signs a bit and leave you with:

$CONTACTEMAIL:$

and

$:,$

from nagioscore.

Thank you guys! It works!

Perfect! But to answer @tmcnag question, Yes, on the command line for the command, something like the following with backticks should work:

$CONTACTEMAIL:`echo $CONTACTGROUPNAME$`:,$
