        Subject: [Nagios-users] check_x -> automatically make check_a,
check_b,check_c?
        
        
        Is there a way to make a check_(whatever) and automatically
create other checks? 

        For example, say I want to specify "check_cisco_pix", which
automatically creates a lot of other "check_snmp" commands, and when you
go to http://IP/nagios, you see like 10 checks that automatically got
created on the fly. 
         

You probably want to just create a hostgroup "cisco_pix".  Then you can
create checks with "hostgroup_name cisco_pix"  This way, any host that
you put in the group cisco_pix will automatically get all of the checks
you want.
         
        Something like this:
         
        define host {
               use                generic-host
               host_name          pix-firewall-4
               hostgroups         pix_firewalls
               }
        
         
        define hostgroup {
              hostgroup_name      pix_firewalls
              alias               pix_firewalls
        }
         
        define service{
                use                             generic-service
                hostgroups                      pix_firewalls
                servicegroups                   notifications
                service_description             PING
                is_volatile                     0
                check_period                    24x7
                max_check_attempts              3
                normal_check_interval           2
                retry_check_interval            1
                contact_groups                  admins
                notification_interval           10
                notification_period             24x7
                check_command
check_ping!100.0,10%!500.0,20%
                }
