variables in hobbit-alerts.cfg 🔗 link

So I have a fancy new mail filter script that allows me to send mail to user-b958269c9b6b@xymon.invalid in order to reach the people responsible for servername.

I'd like to use this in hobbit-alerts, but I can't seem to find a way. It seems I can match on hostname (HOST=xyz) to decide where alerts should go, and I can get the hostname (BBHOSTNAME) inside of a custom SCRIPT, but I can't use it in the hobbit-alerts directly.

For instance, this

    MAIL admins+$user-bcd058156a9b@xymon.invalid

tries to sent the message to admins+$user-bcd058156a9b@xymon.invalid.

Yes, I can do an external script, but I'd really rather not recreate the messages Xymon is sending out anyway just to change the recipient. Is there a variable that represents the hostname in the alerts file?

Thanks.

Rob,

Not a lot of work to do an external script. The message is either in an
ENV variable when you call the script, so no need to recreate the
message. Hostname is in a variable and can be substituted to your
heart's content.

If you want to do HTML e-mails then a script is required (see xymonton).

Nice idea. Not possible currently, sorry.
