Dear all

Is it possible to change the From: name and email in nagios notifications?

i.e instead of it being shown as the username in shell nagios is running as.

Help appreciated.

Create acces to nagios run mail comman in sudo.
Then use:
command[notify-by-email]=/bin/printf "$OUTPUT$" | sudo accoutname -c "/bin/mail -s '$SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$' $CONTACTEMAIL$"

Currently the emails are already sent as the username. I want to know if it can be done such that you can set the From Email sender and address or the reply-to email address. Thanks.

Try use nail.
