Hi all,
I seem to have a working solution but an confused as to why it works,
could some one please explain or suggest a better way to do this.
I apply service to hosts via, host-templates and wanted to change a
value for a service but just for one hosts.
I didnt want to add a new service / service template hoping i could
just over ride the value for just that one host:
I am running Nagios 3.2.3 and the simplified config looks like this:
service {
name service-check
command run-some-check.sh
max_check_attempts 1
hostgroup_name host_group1
}
host {
name host-template1
use generic
hostgroups +host_group1
register 0
}
host {
name host1
use host-template1
}
host {
name host2
use host-template1
}
Now I wanted to change the value for max_check_attempts used by the
service for host2.
What I did was
service {
name service-check
command run-some-check.sh
max_check_attempts 3
host host2
}
This created duplicate a warning when doing a verbose config check,
but no warning on the normal config check and it allowed Nagios to
reload and used the values from the host defined service!
My questions are,
why does this work?
Is Nagios actually running both services but only showing one of
them in the gui and ill probably have some race condition between
them.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for your help,
Ritchie
