Object Definitions with Multiple Templates

[Mathew Walker]

make sure you have hostgroup definitions setup ...

 

define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name  DUMMY2
        alias           Dummy2 Servers
}

 

Also NOTE in my test host, I have the line:

use   dummy-hosts1,dummy-hosts2 

 

Each defines group DUMMY1 and DUMMY2 respectively...

 

after restarting Nagios, the host is only a member of the DUMMY2 group.

 

definining options like this the inheritance "overrides" settings with the values of the subsquent templates listed.  so the group of the last template listed is the one used.
