Re: [monit] Substituting System Variables in .monitrc

Yes, the "from" mail-format option can use $HOST macro which is expanded to hostname where monit is running.

I am rather new at using monit so if this question is dumb or redundant I beg forgiveness in advance.

I have a qa stack and I want to use the same control file for all of them.  In the alert message I would like to have the from: address@hidden (see below) substitute hostname in lieu of appliance.com so that the email alerts would appear as from: address@hidden where address@hidden is the hostname.

Is this possible and if so, how does one accomplish this.

.monitrc code:
set mail-format { from: address@hidden
                  subject: Service Monitor Alert -- $SERVICE $EVENT
                  message:
$SERVICE $EVENT

Date:            $DATE
Host:            $HOST
Description:   $DESCRIPTION

End .monitrc code

Thanks...kenh
