conditional variable usage (host specific settings)

[Rejo Zenger]

Hi there,

Can I add $ARGn$ like variables to service definitions that are loading
other templates? I have this:

 | define service {
 |         use                     svc-ssh
 |         host_name               box.example.net
 |         service_description     ssh
 |         }

This uses the following more generic definitions:

 | define service {
 |         name                            svc-ssh
 |         use                             svc
 |         register                        0
 |         check_command                   check_ssh
 |         }
 | 
 | define command {
 |         command_name    check_ssh
 |         command_line    $USER1$/check_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ 
 |         }

I want to check ssh on $HOSTADDRESS$ for the majority of servers. There
are however a number of exeptions. These servers must be checked on
their secondary IP address.

Now, can I add something to the first "service definition" so I can
specify it *only* if the second IP address must be used? So, in the
third definition, it should be something like "use specific value if
specified, otherwise use $HOSTADDRESS$".

I am aware I can provide variables using $ARG1$ from the second to the
third definition. But can I do the same from the first to the second
definition?
