I have 30 or so hosts defined using 2 layers of inheritance. The parent
template is:
# Generic host definition template - This is NOT a real host, just a
template!
define host{
name generic-host ; The name of this
host template
notifications_enabled 1 ; Host notifications are
enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Host event handler is
enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled
failure_prediction_enabled 1 ; Failure prediction is
enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information
acro ss program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
contact_groups admins
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
----------------------------------
Then I defined a more specific template:
#Parent Class that all objects will inherit from
define host {
host_name 58ants
check_command check-host-alive
notification_options d,u,r
notification_period never
max_check_attempts 8
hostgroups Customers58
name 58ant
use generic-host
register 0
}
-------------------------------------------
by my calculations, I should not be receiving any notifications for hosts
using this template. But I am and I don't know why. I'm using nagios2 on
a debian etch system by the way.
