Hi Andy,
Here's the generic-contact from the template:
define contact{
name generic-contact ; The name of this contact template
service_notification_period 24x7 ; service notifications can be sent anytime
host_notification_period 24x7 ; host notifications can be sent anytime
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s ; send notifications for all service states, flapping events, and scheduled downtime events
host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s ; send notifications for all host states, flapping events, and scheduled downtime events
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email ; send service notifications via email
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email ; send host notifications via email
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL CONTACT, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
As far as command_line definitions that use this one, there aren't any that I can see. Unless I'm missing something.

Hi Grant,
OK these notification commands aren't defined for your contact - can you
post the definition of the generic-contact contact template, as well as
the command_line definitions for the notification commands attached to
that command?

But it always says PROBLEM in the email I receive. Maybe that's the problem? Is there a way to set it to a different string? Or is that opening up a can of worms?
