Hi,
I am trying to implement Frank4DD’s HTML notification (http://nagios.frank4dd.com/howto/manual/nagios_send_service_mail.htm) but it’s not working. I was able to implement on regular Nagios server but not in OMD. Regular printf notification works fine in OMD.
After troubleshooting I found this reference, as stated in the FAQ: http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_faq.html
Q: Since I’m using MK Livestatus Nagios sometimes stops to execute checks. What’s wrong here?
nagios.cfg
enable_environment_macros=0
If you are using those macros (e.g. in notification scripts), you have to rewrite them using arguments and normal macros, such as $HOSTADDRESS$
Looks like the problem is that the perl script is full of environment macros, i.e.:
my $o_notificationtype = $ENV{NAGIOS_NOTIFICATIONTYPE};
my $o_hostname = $ENV{NAGIOS_HOSTNAME};
When I try running the script manually with the test switch it works fine (the variables are pre-defined for testing inside the script).
I have a feeling I have to replace a lot of the definitions with something else.
Thanks, Rod

A: That is due to a non thread safe implemention of how Nagios sets environment macros. You need to disable them in nagios.cfg:
