When upgrading from NEMS 1.4 to 1.6 several issues came up with the notify-by-telegram.lua script:
1) The format of the bot id has changed. This was easy to fix in the configuration by dropping the 'bot' from the id .
2) The script now expects the new format of the chat id. As I have a legacy chat id, I commented out the line:
local chat_id = '-' .. arg[2]:gsub('%g', '')
3) Since parsemode MarkDown is used, the message must not contain an underscore. This is one of the reserved characters for Telegram. Strangely enough the other reserved characters " ().-" cause no problems.
I solved this by adding the following line after the message is composed, changing the underscore to hyphen:
message = message:gsub('_','-')
4) In the notify-service-by telegram procedure, arguments 5 and 7 (State and Info) are not passed correctly to the script. Only '$' is passed.
This does not happen with notify-host-by telegram.
