I setup a separate Nagios install for testing and verified (through
the object pre-cache) that two "used" objects do not result in a union
of the contact_groups, even if they both contain the "+" character.
Any chance on having this feature added?
It seems I need a way to use an object by itself (such as "use
oracle"), or in conjunction with other objects like, "use
production,oracle." This would be better than having to create
separate objects for each case: [dev/test/qa/production] * [oracle/
websphere/host] * [cpu_load/memory/swap/process/filesystem].

Howdy,
I'm trying to design a multiple-inheritance structure for a new
Nagios 3 setup. Consider the following:
define service{
name oracle
use fast,default
service_description Oracle Server
contact_groups +oracle_dba
check_command check_nrpe!check_oracle
register 0
}
define service{
name fast
retry_check_interval 2
normal_check_interval 5
register 0
}
define service{
name production
use default
contact_groups prod_responders
register 0
}
define service{
name filesystem
use slow,default
contact_groups +storage_admins
register 0
}
define service{
name slow
normal_check_interval 30
register 0
}
In this scenario "default" contains the default definitions, this is
sometimes written as "generic-service."
Now, for some examples: Production Oracle
define service{
use oracle,production
host_name lnx50
}
I expect by using production that prod_responders replaces the
default contact_group. Next, the additive (+) inheritance of
oracle_dba should create a union between the two contact_groups.
Will this declaration work as expected?
Next... an Production Oracle Filesystem
define service{
use filesystem,oracle,production
service_description Filesystem: /oradata
host_name lnx50
check_command check_nrpe!check_oradata
}
I only partially understand the precedence at work here. I
understand that it will operate with a "slow" check interval, but
what about the contact_groups? Since "filesystem" brings in the
default early (with it's own default contact groups), then does it
ever add the contact_group oracle_dba, or does it all get replaced
by production_responders?
Thoughts?
