I am using 1.4.2 and trying to set up some email alerts. Everything works as expected, except none of the profile macros seem to work. I created a test email that sent the following:

Contact

{PROFILE.CONTACT}

Device :

{PROFILE.DEVICETYPE}

Hardware

{PROFILE.HARDWARE}

Name

{PROFILE.NAME}

Location

{PROFILE.LOCATION}

Notes

{PROFILE.NOTES}

MAC

{PROFILE.MACADDRESS}

OS

{PROFILE.OS}

Serial

{PROFILE.SERIALNO}

Software

{PROFILE.SOFTWARE}

TAG

{PROFILE.TAG}

I then tripped the trigger and I received the following in the email.
Contact UNKNOWN
Device :UNKNOWN
Hardware UNKNOWN
Name UNKNOWN
Location UNKNOWN
Notes UNKNOWN
MAC UNKNOWN
OS UNKNOWN
Serial UNKNOWN
Software UNKNOWN
TAG UNKNOWN

I have checked the host, and showed that it was using the profile and that all fields had something in them. I even did a lookup on the hosts_profile table in MySQL and verified that there was information in the profile.

Is there something else I am missing? Having information in the profile and being able to send it out as part of the email would be very helpful.

Thanx for any help you can give.
