Hi Harold.

I assume you're referring to the XMPP script?

The NAGIOS_CONTACTEMAIL is sent by Nagios to the command when it's set up as a notification.

I split everything out in to seperate config files in Nagios, here's what I have:

notify-commands.cfg:

define command {
        command_name    notify-by-xmpp
        command_line    $USER3$/notify_by_xmpp -u $USER20$ -p $USER21$ -s $USER22$ -c $USER23$
}

contact-templates.cfg:

define contact {
        name                                    XMPP
        use                                     24x7
        host_notification_commands              notify-by-xmpp
        service_notification_commands           notify-by-xmpp
        register                                0
}

contact-groups.cfg:

define contactgroup {
        contactgroup_name       ServerAdmins
        alias                   ServerAdmins
}

contacts.cfg

define contact {
        contact_name    JasonXMPP
        alias           Jason Rivers (XMPP)
        use             XMPP
        email           <REMOVED>
        contact_groups  ServerAdmins
}

You can then define services with:

contact_groups                  ServerAdmins

This should then all allow Nagios to send XMPP notifications to the defined contact.

Hope this helps.

Jason.
