Betreff: [Nagios-users] Are service contacts 'inherited' from respectivehost?
Hi,
I'm monitoring a bunch of hosts and each of these hosts has at least two services used to monitor and graph ping RTA and packet-loss. Hosts configurations are organized in several .cfg files (by building), there is also a hostgroup definition grouping all hosts in a building.
However, hosts in a building can have different contacts...
I defined services using hostgroups - like this:
define service {
use template
hostgroup_name MYHOSTGROUP
}
I was hoping a service that doesn't have a contact definition would 'inherit' the contact from the host - but it seems that's not the case.
Is there a way to make that happen? Or will I need to define services one-by-one while and add contact definition to each?
Danilo
Hi,
What Nagios version do you use?
Since Nagios 3.0 contact_groups, notification_interval, notification_period are inherited from the related host definition if you don't explicitly specify them in the service object or an inherited template.
