I was wondering if there is anyway to change the default email alert contents to include the DESCR tag information for a host (without creating a custom alert script)? We have many support people who don't know what all of the hosts are for or if it goes down, what that means and I want to make it easier for them to know what is affected.
You'll either have to create a custom alert script, or tweak the hobbitd/do_alert.c C code. If you choose the latter, then the message_subject() and message_text() routines are the ones you're after; you can get the DESCR tag with code like this:
namelist_t *hinfo; char *descr; hinfo = hostinfo(alert->hostname); descr = bbh_item(hinfo, BBH_DESCRIPTION);Note that this will return a NULL pointer if there is no DESCR tag for this host.
