Multiple inheritance

[donavan nelson]

I've answered this before, but I can't find it in the archive....SF is acting
up....

.dn


============================ copied from earlier message =====================
I do something similar, but it's a slightly different mind set

template A

template B, uses A

service X, uses template B

Same behavior, different method.  I don't know if your way even works....

Example

# Generic service definition template
define service{
       name                            generic-service ;
...
}

define service{
       use                             generic-service        

       name                            generic_check_disk
       is_volatile                     0
       check_period                    24x7
       max_check_attempts              3
       normal_check_interval           5
       retry_check_interval            1
       contact_groups                  4wx-admin
       notification_interval           240
       notification_period             24x7
       notification_options            c,r
       register                        0      
}

define service{
       use                             generic_check_disk      

       service_description             /
       check_command                   check_nrpe!check_disk_root
       host_name                       sparky, cat
}

define service{
       use                             generic_check_disk      

       service_description             /var/log
       check_command                   check_nrpe!check_disk_var_log
       host_name                       sparky, cat
}

Hopefully you can find something useful here.
