The most actual case with my configuration is: I have multiple machines with the same apache configuration (application) except for ssl certificates. Would one put the whole certificate into a variable (looks strange to me)?
@Michael Peters: I am using monit for monitoring. And depending on machine there are completely different services to monitor. I could also do multiple roles like 'monit_webservice' , 'monit_db', 'monit_application_a', 'monit_application_b' for just one configuration file. .... this would mean a certain amount of duplication and it seems odd in terms of clarity. Also some applications do not support a 'conf.d/' style. In my actual setup i can see on a per-machine basis which services are monitored. Am Freitag, 6.
