I have several hosts with the same services (connectivity, SSH, Samba,
HTTP...).
I have it configured like below - this way I edit hosts (used in all
services) only in "generic-service":
define service {
name generic-service
host_name server*, web*, router1, no-web
(...)
define service {
use generic-service
service_description Connectivity
(...)
define service {
use generic-service
service_description HTTP
# host_name !no_web, \!no-web # <- don't work
(...)
Now, one server doesn't have a web server running, so a HTTP check makes
an error. I'd like to exclude host "no-web" from HTTP service.
Looking through the mailing list archive, I see that excluding a host
was a feature that was frequently asked for, and that putting a "!" in
front of the host name should work in nagios 2.x.
For me, unfortunately - it doesn't work - nagios takes an exclamation
mark as a part of the host's name:
Error: Could not find any host matching '!no-web'
or:
Error: Could not find any host matching '\!no-web'
How can I exclude a host?
I have nagios 2.5.
