Hi

I have an ODBC test returning 2 varchars, I use the variable %ODBCField2% in an http POST alert profile

The reply value in hostmonitor is {"user":"kalle"}. When using this in the alertprofile to post to the api {\"user\":\"kalle\"} is sent.

I assume you set "content-type: application/json" line in HTTP header?
Then HostMonitor translates variable value according to JSON encoding rules. If your database reruns JSON compatible strings, I would suggest to remove such HTTP header.

We can add switch, some HTTP header like "hmvars: text", as "do not encode values" indicator.
Please contact support (by e-mail) in order to receive update.
