<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi every1 :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anybody have a neat way of setting up hosts and
services on nagios.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I started by using the sample layouts but actually
moved to a system which seems to be neater but probably more
complex.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is the layout at present</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/etc/ - contains config data.. eg.
nagios.cfg</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/etc/locations - contains
service_pingall.cfg</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/etc/locations/melbourne</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/etc/locations/adelaide</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/etc/locations/sydney</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/etc/locations/perth</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>for those of you outside Australia (I presume most
of you) these are a list of a few capital cities where we have pops or proxy
servers installed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Inside these directories I contain a file for each
host to be configured, this includes the host information and any services to be
configured with them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>making the files rather large be defining the
defaults as a template is also tedious but changing all the files at this stage
is going to be a long and tedious task.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anybody have a nicer way of doing
this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would it be better to implement a database type
structure or would this slow the system down too much?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>anyway, any thoughts are greatly
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
