List of Variables passed to Scripts

Thanks Charles. The 'env' command gave me the same results but a good
suggestion none the less.

Make a script that performs the "export" command, and logs the output to a
file, then you should be able to see all the available variables, including
Hobbit ones :)

Hi Tom,

Thanks I know about this list but it doesn't provide all variables passed
to the scripts. When I wanted to find out a couple months ago, how to
include the DESCR tag (from bb-hosts) in my script, Henrik told me I could
use the $BBH_DESCRIPTION variable and it does work and is passed to the
script. This variable is not included in the list in hobbit-alerts.cfg man
page. I am just wondering if there are more variables not listed in there,
that are passed because I have alerts for 8 organizations on my server and
about 700 servers/devices, so I would like to be more descriptive if
possible in my alerting.

Thanks for the thought though.

 Check the man pages for hobbit-alerts.cfg; at the end is the list of
environment variables passed to the scripts.

Hi,


Is there a list of the variables that are passed to alerting scripts and
what they contain? I haven't found a list and I would like to
make our custom alerting script much more descriptive by adding items such
as IP address, ...


Thanks.
