Notes

This module aims to generate a valid message to split notification into different destinations based on its type (alert, warning, no data).

If this way matchs your need so you should be able to use its output alone directly for your monitors. You can even use append_text and prepend_text variables to add context or documentation to monitors.

Else you can still use its output with one or multiple destinations to use it in your own messsage (i.e. with {{#is_match}} splitting mechanism).

Here is some tips to understand the behavior of this module and espacially its resulted output:

• Only message_alert is mandatory
• If message_warning or message_nodata are not defined it will use message_alert by default
• You can "disable" one notification type by set its variable to empty (i.e. message_warning = "")
• feel free to use this module multiple times with different combinations to suit your needs
