Hosts and Services

[craig cook]

Okay, that makes sense.

What about this idea then... (some sort of flag for "execute this
service test on the standard nagios retest policy for service
failures").

define host {
host_name      linux-server
address        10.0.0.1
parents        linux-server2
hostgroups     web-servers
}

define service {
service              ping-linux-servers
check_command_line   ping ...
execute_on_failure   true
}

define service {
service              smtp-linux-servers
check_command_line   <smtp command>
execute_on_failure   false
}


define host_service {
host_name     linux-server
service       smtp-linux-servers
contact_group linux-admins
}


Thanks

Craig
