Please see my reply to Nitin. The trick is $${NAGIOS_SERVICEOUTPUT} in your notify-service-by-email command line.

Can I see your command line in notify-service-by-email? Anyway, the trick I learned from here is $${NAGIOS_SERVICEOUTPUT}. I wrote a customized script to handle the alert but I didn’t do any special treatment of serveroutput in the script. Here my command line:

$USER1$/nagios_alert “$HOSTNAME$” “$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$” “$SERVICEDESC$” “$HOSTADDRESS$ ” “$SERVICESTATE$” “$${NAGIOS_SERVICEOUTPUT}” “$CONTACTEMAIL$” “$SERVICEACKCOMMENT$” “$SERVICEACKAUTHOR$” “$SERVICEGROUPNAME$”

Hope this helps.

I’ve put up a nagios/nrpe script which in its output has an URL containing ampersand symbols. On the web interface everything is visualized correctly but when i receive the nagios alert email containing the URL.. the ampersand symbols have magically disappeared. Could somebody help me find the lost ampersands?

Many Thanks,

Maggie

What I want to know is how to test for his 10-20% performance improvement. I tried recursively stat’ing a directory on a noatime mounted file system and I don’t see any difference compared to a regular atime mounted file system.

I need to get some proof for this improvement.

Thanks.
