Simple:<o:p></o:p> We have a cluster that has projects being dropped in and out all the time… each project is stored in:<o:p></o:p> /opt/<random project folder><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I wanted to add a: /opt/<random project folder>/nagios directory to each project so they can add and remove to it and keep with the global monitoring of the cluster. Thus keeping all monitoring centralized…<o:p></o:p> I was hoping I could do this through the adding and removing of files (similar to how all other programs/services work) instead of manipulating a file.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I want to avoid using ‘sed’ and updating the nagios.cfg file each time a project is added or removed. Is this possible?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> In retrospect:<o:p></o:p> /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg > #line 30 > cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/includes<o:p></o:p> /etc/nagios/includes/<random_project_id>.cfg > #line 1 > cfg_dir=/opt/<random_project_id>/nagios<o:p></o:p> $> ls /opt/<random_project_id>/nagios<o:p></o:p> Test.cfg<o:p></o:p> Test2.cfg<o:p></o:p> Etc…<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> My proposed idea (an cfg_dir in a config file within a previously defined cfg_dir) does not work… But I was curious on workarounds or other great suggestions from others on ways around this.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div id=signature> <div id=phone> Chris<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html>
