===== notify_service_html ===== 
notify_service_html is part of the check_multi package.\\ 
This Script can be used as a replacement for the standard notification, it sends the HTML extended plugin output as a MIME attachment.
    - Caveat: you need a [[http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html|special version of mailx]], which is capable to deal with attachments on command line.
    - Copy both files into the libexec directory.
    - Replace the corresponding notify-service-by-email setting in your commands.cfg with the following lines:\\ <code># 'notify-service-by-email' command definition 
define command {
  command_name         notify-service-by-email
  command_line         /bin/sh /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify_service_html
}</code>
    - The script does not make use of command line variables. It instead works with Nagios environment vars which have to be enabled in the nagios.cfg:<code>enable_environment_macros=1</code>

Example mail output (it's the old template version and hopefully will be updated soon ;-)):

===== status_query.cgi =====
At this very moment the status_query.cgi is only available in one of the   [[projects:check_multi:download#download_check_multi|developer versions]] in ''contrib/status_query''. Create the CGI script via  ''make'' and copy it into your nagios cgi-bin directory, normally ''<nagiosdir>/sbin''.

It provides - not only for check_multi purposes - a flexible interface to query different fields in the Nagios status.dat and provide the results in a table which looks like status.cgi.
