Files don't really matter. Nagios loads them all, and processes.
Its up to you how you want to format. Sometimes it's easier to
group by type (hosts, services, commands, etc), and others by
location (server room, etc). How you format is up to you. If you
want, you can even bundle it all in a single file.
Lines ending in \ are wrapped and should appear on a single line in
your config.
define command {
command_name check-host-alive
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ \
-w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% \
-p 5
}
define command {
command_name check_http
command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTNAME$
}
define host {
host_name myhost
address 1.1.1.1
check_command check-host-alive
notification_options d,r
check_period All
max_check_attempts 3
check_interval 1
retry_interval 1
contact_groups mycontacts
}
define service {
host_name myhost
check_command check_http
{.. other stuff here .. }
}
This will execute check_http against the "myhost". check-host-alive
will be executed every 1 minute. If check-host-alive fails 3 times,
host is considered down, and alerts for check_http will be
suppressed. You should read up on host checks [1], service checks
[2], and notifications [3].
