[Nagios-users] Host File Clean-Up

[Pete Shelfo]

bAll my hosts definitions are setup the same way:   # 'servername' host definition define host{       use               generic-host            ; Name of host template to use       host_name         servername       alias             servername       address                 0.0.0.0       parents                 switch       check_command           check-host-alive       max_check_attempts      10       notification_interval   120       notification_period     24x7       notification_options    d,u,r       contact_groups          sys-admins       }   Do I need the bottom half of my definition list for each host if my generic host definition template on the bottom of my host file already includes that information:   max_check_attempts      10       notification_interval   120       notification_period     24x7       notification_options    d,u,r       contact_groups          sys-admins       }   In summary can I get away with only listing:   # 'servername' host definition define host{       use               generic-host            ; Name of host template to use       host_name         servername       alias             servername       address                 0.0.0.0       parents                 switch     This e-mail is intended solely for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
