I recently changed a Nagios configuration to use a regex with hostnames but it hasn't been entirely satisfactory. I have e.g.
define service{ use generic-service host_name host* service_description Total Processes check_command snmp_procs!120!150 but for some hosts, I need to use different thresholds. I tried to use define service{ use generic-service host_name hostNN service_description Total Processes check_command snmp_procs!200!250 but hostNN still alerts based on the host* thresholds. I tried placing the definition for host NN before AND after the host* definition - it made no difference. From what I read of Nagios regex, they're not full regex so it wouldn't be possible to write one which matched host* but didn't match hostNN. Is there a way of doing what I want, apart from the obvious one of renaming the hosts which I don't want to match the regex? __ Kindest regards, Niall O Broin MakaluMedia Group | http://makalumedia.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
