Greetings,
We have a nagios setup that uses inheritance to a larger degree than I am used
to. I've read the documentation at:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html But I still
can't get my head around how to accomplish my goal.
I have server/host that has notified for procs warning. I investigated this and
it is a known bug and safely ignored for this specific server. Ideally I'd
like to increase the warning/critical points for the service definition for
just this host; but I'm also comfortable just not using this service check
until a patch for the current problem is issued. Disabling via the web
interface is not an acceptable option for my mangers.
Service definition:
define service{
use unix-agent-service
hostgroup_name linux-servers
service_description Agent: Total Processes
check_command check_nrpe!check_total_procs
}
The host definition:
define host{
use linux-server
host_name unixlab
alias Unix Lab
address PRIVATE
}
Group/server Definition:
# Linux host definition template
define host{
name linux-server
use generic-host
alias Linux server
hostgroups linux-servers
register 0
}
The host inherits all the services defined in the hostgroup linux-servers. I've
tried giving the service check a name and then setting that name to null in the
host definition, but I think this syntax is wrong and/or I'm not understanding
that part of inheritance:
define service{
name agent-total-processes
use unix-agent-service
hostgroup_name linux-servers
service_description Agent: Total Processes
check_command check_nrpe!check_total_procs
}
The host definition:
define host{
use linux-server
host_name unixlab
alias Unix Lab
address PRIVATE
agent-total-processes null
}
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious... based on my reading of inheritance
this should be possible but I'm not able to wrap my head around it.
Thoughts?
Taylor
