Hi,<br>
Ok this is only for point 4, as due to my small number of hosts, i
haven't felt the need to plat with custom maps or extended info yet.<br>
Anyway, to get a proper tree like stracture you need to define the <u>parents</u>
parameter for hosts.<br>
Here is an example:<br>
# Default gateway host definition<br>
define host{<br>
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use<br>
<br>
host_name gw<br>
alias Default Gateway<br>
address 192.168.1.1<br>
check_command check-host-alive<br>
max_check_attempts 5<br>
notifications_enabled 1<br>
notification_interval 120<br>
notification_period 24x7<br>
notification_options d,u,r<br>
}<br>
#External Host Definition<br>
define host{<br>
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use<br>
<br>
host_name exthost<br>
parents gw<br>
alias An External Host<br>
address 10.0.0.2<br>
check_command check-host-alive<br>
max_check_attempts 10<br>
notifications_enabled 1<br>
notification_interval 240<br>
notification_period 24x7<br>
notification_options d,u,r<br>
}<br>
<br>
Hope this solves that problem.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
