I have spent a lot of time cleaning it up, and templating out a bunch of things. For instance, to create a new host, you simply add 2 lines in a new file – the template to use, and the hostname. Based on the template you use, it is assigned hostgroups and based on the hostgroups, it is assigned service checks. It works great for us. A little example: define host{ use generic-host-ssl host_name www.ssldomain.com } This assigned the host <A href="http://www.ssldomain.com/">www.ssldomain.com</A> to the hostgroup SSLDomains, along with the defaults for that domain. SSLDomains get tested for “HTTP by NAME” and “SSL Cert” – the former is obvious, and the second checks for existence off a SSL cert, and Crits if it is expired or will expire soon, warns if it expires in the next month, and says OK otherwise. What I would like to do, is setup a service dependency so that I am not warned about a missing SSL cert, if HTTP is down. Looking through the docs, it appears that the following MAY work: define servicedependency{ hostgroup_name SSLDomain service_description HTTP by NAME dependent_hostgroup_name SSLDomain dependent_service_description SSL Cert execution_failure_criteria n notification_failure_criteria c,w,u } Looking at the documentation, though, this might not work…. It appears that in this case the SSL Cert warnings will not go down if ANY of the HTTP by NAMES are down…. Is this the case? Any easy ways to accomplish this?
