Hello community,

I am trying to review the nagios.cmd file on how the output of the npre commands are formated.

you mention the following on https://github.com/etsy/nagios-herald/blob/master/docs/nagios-config.md

NOTE: $_HOSTMESSAGE_FORMATTER_NAME$ and $_SERVICEMESSAGE_FORMATTER_NAME$ are Nagios macros, generated from a custom variable in a relevant service check definition.

It looks like the file is located here: /usr/local/nagios-herald/bin/nagios-herald

I am trying to review how the nagios-hearld parses the output of a command that is ran on the targeted monitored server with the npre and how that output is formatted and fed into the email body.

thanks in advance.

This is done by adding a custom variable in a Nagios defintion like the example in https://github.com/etsy/nagios-herald/blob/master/docs/nagios-config.md#service-configuration

For example $_SERVICEMESSAGE_FORMATTER_NAME$ is generated by Nagios as a result of having a custom variable called _message_formatter_name in a Nagios service definition.
