Hello, Is there a way to use an environment variable in the nrpe daemon config file or does anyone have any alternate ideas for this scenario:
Attempting to include an auxiliary config file for host-specific items of software package that is used on multiple hosts and is set up so each host has a unique personality. An example: # INCLUDE CONFIG FILE # This directive allows you to include definitions from an external config file. #include=<somefile.cfg> include=/usr/local/dingle/etc/$HOSTNAME/nrpe.cfg The intent is to have checks unique to 'dingle' for the individual host be separate from the checks that are specific to the host's system The net effect is that if you change the hostname and reboot, the system will come up as the personality of the specified hostname so the checks from the monitoring server will not need changes. TIA for the answer or viable suggestions. -- Steve Botnick I.T.
