You can build a new contact group that is gets alert only from this commands .
Or you can split the templates and build a new one that uses this alerting for the \
new service .
You need to think of the process of the alerts and define what alerts to send .
I know many people think that adding new (insert nagios item ) is trouble , but i \
found that if some thing "breaks" my conventions or is an exemption , it is best to \
"build" the templates for it and make it modular - as it is most likely will happen \
again , and that way you'll have the definition ready .

Subject: [Nagios-users] Can you add custom commands to the 2 standard \
"notify-host-by-xxx" and "notify-service-by-xxx" commands?
Hi all.
Is it possible to add your own custom commands to add to the 2 standard notify \
commands?
At the moment I have
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios says its broken *****\n\nNotification \
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAddress: \
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/mail -s \
"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ }
# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios says its broken *****\n\nNotification \
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nInfo :$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\n Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: \
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: \
$LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$ \
is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ }
This is fine for the hosts that I manage by PING.
Now I have started to manage my websites for both availability and also to navigate \
through the site using 2 separate scripts.
Id like separate notifications for the website checks as id like to add more text \
into the subject line.
For eg if 1 of my sites has an issues and 1 of the pages it navigates for is not \
available or returns something different to what it should id like:
# 'notify-website-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-website-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios says its broken *****\n\nNotification \
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nInfo :$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\n Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: \
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: \
$LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: Website \
content cannot be found at $HOSTALIAS$ and is in a $SERVICESTATE$ state**" \
$CONTACTEMAIL$ }
But if I create this and add it to my Critical website template which tells it to to \
email the admin email contact group which has me and another admin in it then its \
going to send both the original "notify-service-by-email" and the new \
"notify-website-service-by-email
Any way I can get around this.
Apologies if it's a really simple answer by the way….
Thankyou
