Well, next to the regular servers.cfg, commands_check.cfg, commands_definition.cfg etc etc etc there are a couple of things that are different between hosts (notably event handlers), making one the master host and one the slave host.
I've already created a hostname1.cfg and a hostname2.cfg containing the host and service definitions that differ, but I'd like nagios to read either of these based on the current machine hostname, instead of having to manually edit nagios.cfg after copying cfgs over from the master host to the slave host. -----Original Message----- From: Christian Schneemann [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday 28 July 2009 12:59 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] loading host specific variables?
