Hi, I defined a custom_service_attribute named SOP and gave it a dummy value as “TEXT” and it is available in services of localhost.
Please find below:
custom_variable_names;custom_variable_values;custom_variables;
SOP;Text;SOP|Text;
As per the documentation [https://checkmk.com/werk/7185], these values would be sent to the notification plugin as SERVICE_[ID] where ID is the ID of the Custom service attribute right? But I checked the environment variables that are sent to the notification plugin and it is not available. In fact, I listed all the environment variables and it wasn’t available.
I also cross checked in this file [ ~/var/check_mk/notify/backlog.mk]
Kindly find below an example present in the backlog.mk file

code_snippet to get all envi. variables
def total_var() -> Dict[str, str]:
return {
var: value
for var, value in environ.items()
}
total_out = total_var()
I checked by printing total_out but the Custom service attributes were not available.
Kindly help! Thanks.
