Service Message Fields

These fields remain constant for each execution of your script associated with a single service outage.

Type: Problem

Service: db_status (CRIT/threshold error)

Host: orale_db (OK)

User-Related Fields

These fields change for each user passed to your script. The script is executed once for each user that you want notified.

Use of the ENV array to access environment variables with Perl. For example:

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $user_email = $ENV{UPTIME_EMAIL};
my $user_mobile = $ENV{UPTIME_MOBILE};

When run from the command line, use the getenv() function to access environment variables within PHP. For example:

«?php
$user_email = getenv('UPTIME_EMAIL');
$user_mobile = getenv('UPTIME_MOBILE');

Bash and Ksh enable you to access local environment variables just like any other local variable. For example:

#!/bin/bash
EMAIL=$UPTIME_EMAIL
MOBILE=$UPTIME_MOBILE

Add the % symbol around the names of environment variables in Windows batch files. For example:

echo %UPTIME_EMAIL%
echo %UPTIME_MOBILE%

Use the the oShell.Environment lookup function to access environment variables with VB Script. For example:

Dim email, mobile
Dim WshShell, objEnv

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set objEnv = WshShell.Environment("Process")

email = objEnv("UPTIME_EMAIL")
mobile = objEnv("UPTIME_MOBILE")
