Hey there, In case one has many services checked via wildcard templates:
define service { name std use normal register 0 ;;; template host_name * ;;; ALL hosts check_period 24x7 ; contact_groups are inherited from host definitions } define service { name std_ping use std service_description PING .... check_command check_ping } Now suppose there are services for a few hosts that would need to have a different check_period (they have, in hosts.cfg). What would be the most elegant way to accomplish that without adding too many new services? Would/could the check_period maybe be inherited from the host? Don't think so. As far as I can see, just adding the concerned services with a specific host will only result in duplicate service definition warnings. Unless one would have to remember removing those specific hosts from the wildcard service while defining the more specific service. In that scenario some kind of override would be cool. Any thoughts that didn't cross my mind yet?
