service question and logo

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

Unfortunately, there's no 'exclusion' feature available as you'd require.

You'd have to stop using the '*' wildcard, and explicitly lists hosts.
Better still, use hostgroups.  Here's an example of what I'm using:

define service{
        hostgroup_name                  dev-sun,dev-staging
        use                             ssh
        contact_groups                  unix-admins
        }

HTH.

Hello,

Was wondering if someone could answer a question regarding the check_ssh
service.  I have set up the check_ssh under the service.cfg and set it to
check all the servers on our network - I've associated the wildcard " * ",
to the "host_name" variable.  The service check is working as expected; my
problem is that I have one or two Windows box's, that do not use that
service, so it generates a constant error.  Does anyone have an idea, how I
can set it up so that it ignores just the few Windows machine that I have,
checking for 'check_ssh'?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

-TS Chong
