Custom macros in host definitions

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 19:10:37 +0000

Well, I was playing with the hostgroup inheritance earlier. One problem with that is, if you define a duplicate service Nagios is really unpredictable or rather inconsistent. Now, as Thomas Guyot-Sionnest told me, I should try custom macros for the check definition. So what I did was the following:

templates/host-windows.cfg

1
2
3
4
5


define host {
 name         generic-windows
 register 0
 _RDPPORT 3389
}

hostgroups/windows.cfg
