Make a script that performs the "export" command, and logs the output to a
file, then you should be able to see all the available variables, including
Hobbit ones :)

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.
