Re: Passing Parameters to Event Handlers

Dear Sir,

Is the command you wish to be performed as your event handler defined in 
command.cfg ?

I am using global event handlers (with other macro parameters) without
any problems.

command[global-host-handler]=$USER1$/global_host_handler $TIMET$ 
$HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATE$ $STATETYPE$ 
command[global-svc-handler]=$USER1$/global_svc_handler $TIMET$ 
$HOSTNAME$ '$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ $STATETYPE$ '$OUTPUT$' 

If it's not working you could consider enabling the appropriate debug
option (rebuilding Netsaint with the compile time debug switch, DEBUG3)  
and potentially sending a bug report

However, the docco clearly distinguishes between commands used in 
services (with parms etc) and those used in event handlers.

It may be that it is __not__ possible.

You can find out for sure by running it in the foreground (no -d) in the 
debugger breaking at the local event handler and displaying the 
processed command line.

I really can't see why it doesn't, since process_macros is called in 
run_service_handler and this expands $ARG1$ etc.

Yours sincerely.
