Thanks to Edgar, Václav and Ivo for all the assistance.
I took a step backwards, to think about where else I might be able to solve
this.
Instead of fiddling about with anything in the NotificationCommand object, I
decided to look at the Notification object which assigns that command to
various hosts and services (specifically:
assign where host.vars.notification.mail )
So, I tried adding in to the Notification object definition:
vars += { notification_neighb = get_host(host.vars.neighbour).display_name }
And, referencing $notification_neighb$ in my NotificationCommand object now
works!
I can access all the attributes of host.vars.neighbour and pass them as
variables to be used in the NotificationCommand.
I have no idea why it works in the Notification object, and the exact same
thing doesn't work in the NotificationCommand object, but I'm happy I've got
something working at last.
I'm sure I'd still like to know one day how correctly to use the log()
function and end up with something in the log file, though...
Antony.
