<html><body> Thanks for that info - good to know. But, I'm still in a bit of a box on this one. As far as I can tell, there is no way in an event handler to get current status on the host and all the services under that host at once, true? So, I refer again to my forum post: <a href="http://www.nagios-forum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=425&sid=0c0f0e49f1f54b3e7daf6917c5c2e920">http://www.nagios-forum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=425&sid=0c0f0e49f1f54b3e7daf6917c5c2e920</a> (I note that this post has ~280 views, which is quite a few, so people seem to be interested in it) There I have a proposed code solution patch. Would it be ok to integrate this into the 2.x and 3.x code? What are the ramifications? Maybe it could cause too many status updates, slowing the system down somewhat? What other possible solutions are there? It would be great to get this fixed. _____________________ Sean McKell <img width="16" height="16" src="cid:1__=08BBFB0EDFC3A8ED8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt="Inactive hide details for Bruce Campbell <nagios-devel@vicious.dropbear.id.au>">Bruce Campbell <nagios-devel@vicious.dropbear.id.au> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top"><td style="background-image:url(cid:2__=08BBFB0EDFC3A8ED8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com); background-repeat: no-repeat; " width="40%"> <ul> <ul> <ul> <ul>Bruce Campbell <nagios-devel@vicious.dropbear.id.au> Sent by: nagios-devel-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net 2006-06-30 04:55</ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </td><td width="60%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="58" height="1" src="cid:3__=08BBFB0EDFC3A8ED8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> <div align="right">To</div></td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:3__=08BBFB0EDFC3A8ED8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> Nagios-Devel <nagios-devel@lists.sourceforge.net></td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="58" height="1" src="cid:3__=08BBFB0EDFC3A8ED8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> <div align="right">cc</div></td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:3__=08BBFB0EDFC3A8ED8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="58" height="1" src="cid:3__=08BBFB0EDFC3A8ED8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> <div align="right">Subject</div></td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:3__=08BBFB0EDFC3A8ED8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> Re: [Nagios-devel] status file and event handler update order</td></tr> </table> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top"><td width="58"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:3__=08BBFB0EDFC3A8ED8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""></td><td width="336"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:3__=08BBFB0EDFC3A8ED8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""></td></tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <tt>On Thu, 29 Jun 2006, Sean McKell wrote: > OK, the host macros work like you said - muy bien, thanks. > > Now, how do I get correct status on the services associated with a host, in > one event handler?

Assuming that you know the name of the services on the host, you can use: $SERVICEMACRO:host_name:service_description$ to retrieve the value of $SERVICEMACRO$ as relevant for host_name/ service_description. Note that these will be as of the last check made for that host/service, which may be some time ago. There isn't a way to get, via the macros, a list of services on a host.
