Hi Tom,
Thanks I know about this list but it doesn't provide all variables
passed to the scripts. When I wanted to find out a couple months ago,
how to include the DESCR tag (from bb-hosts) in my script, Henrik told
me I could use the $BBH_DESCRIPTION variable and it does work and is
passed to the script. This variable is not included in the list in
hobbit-alerts.cfg man page. I am just wondering if there are more
variables not listed in there, that are passed because I have alerts
for 8 organizations on my server and about 700 servers/devices, so I
would like to be more descriptive if possible in my alerting.
Thanks for the thought though.

Check the man pages for hobbit-alerts.cfg; at the end is the list
of environment variables passed to the scripts.

Hi,
Is there a list of the variables that are passed to alerting
scripts and what they contain? I haven't found a list and I would
like to make our custom alerting script much more descriptive by
adding items such as IP address, ...
Thanks.
