Only discovered that it's not clear enough. If you can manage that, I'm sure there's already a solution in Nagios for you. <div> <div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> -- Andreas Ericsson <a href="mailto:andreas.ericsson@op5.se">andreas.ericsson@op5.se</a> OP5 AB <a href="http://www.op5.se" target="_blank"> www.op5.se</a> Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I started to generate a service definition und two templates one for the master and one for the slave. Here are an exaple: define service{ use freschness-20min,GL-Tcoder-Active-Service,pnp host_name gl-tcoder-sw servicegroups interface service_description Port1 check_command check_mb_snmp_int!1 } Master Template, template pnp and freschness is only to set the checkfreschness and extinfo on the Master server and on the slave they are empty define service{ register 0 name GL-Tcoder-Active-Service active_checks_enabled 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 obsess_over_service 0 check_freshness 0 event_handler_enabled 0 notifications_enabled 1 notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r,f contact_groups rss,streaming } Slave Template define service{ register 0 name GL-Tcoder-Active-Service active_checks_enabled 1 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 passive_checks_enabled 0 obsess_over_service 1 check_freshness 0 event_handler_enabled 0 notifications_enabled 0 notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r,f contact_groups rss,streaming,bereitschaft } you can see that i am only change the definition from active on the slave to passiv an the master. With the problme on the master if he is trying to check freschness that he will try the interface check. If i want to use the check_dummy an the main server i have to move thec checkcommand in the templet definition. So that i can define on the slave template the snmpcheck and on the master template the check_dummy. wenn i will do it that way i have to generate for every interface i want to check one template. I think in my case it would be nearly 150 templates for diffrent plugins and args. my intention is now to write it taht way but in the master template i will define an checkcommand with check_dummy so that i don't need the additional templates. in addition i want to try to have a minimum of definition that are uniq on the slaves. In my setup it only the templates ans host- and service- groups the rest i kan use 1to1 from the Master and it will be easier to sync the config. In the meentime i will try to go throuh the source code and look if i'm able to make a patch for this behavior but my C is a lot worther then my english. I hope this helps because i don't know ta way o describe it better. Mark
