[Check_mk (english)] URL in alert emails for GUI

Archive checkmk-en

Hi

When I click on the hostname in HTML email alerts it redirects to the WATO GUI, which is great except I have a cluster and the URL has a node hostname instead of the cluster name. So if it fails over which we do regularly for testing the
URL will no longer work.

How can I edit this URL to point to the cluster name rather than the individual node name?

Thnx

You can copy your notification script to the local directory
structure and modify it to include
a site link.
For example:

From:
body_elements = [

� ( "hostname", "both", True, "Host",
��� "$HOSTNAME$ ($HOSTALIAS$)",
��� "$LINKEDHOSTNAME$ ($HOSTALIAS$)" ),

� ( "servicedesc", "service", True, "Service",
��� "$SERVICEDESC$",
��� "$LINKEDSERVICEDESC$" ),

� ( "event", "both", True, "Event",
��� "$EVENT_TXT$",
��� "$EVENT_HTML$", ),

To:
myserverlink="<desiredFQDN>/"+sitename+"/check_mk"

#customize for each site
mysitelink= ‘’+sitename+‘’
myhostlink= “<a
href="”+myserverlink+“/index.py?start_url=view.py%3Fview_name%3Dhoststatus%26host%3d$LINKEDHOSTNAME$"><font
color="blue">$LINKEDHOSTNAME$
($HOSTALIAS$)”
myservicelink= “<a
href="”+myserverlink+“/index.py?start_url=view.py%3Fview_name%3Dservice%26host%3D$LINKEDHOSTNAME$%26service%3D$LINKEDSERVICEDESC$"><font
color="blue">$LINKEDSERVICEDESC$”
body_elements = [
� ( “site”, “both”, True, “Site”,
��� myserverlink,
��� mysitelink, ),
#� ( “hostname”, “both”, True, “Host”,
#��� “$HOSTNAME$ ($HOSTALIAS$)”,
#��� “$LINKEDHOSTNAME$ ($HOSTALIAS$)” ),
