I'm trying to setup a more-or-less generic host file, but am having problems with the %HOSTNAME% macro
If I use this, everything is fine: define host{ host_name mymachine hostgroups MyGroup alias mymachine address 10.1.2.100 max_check_attempts 5 contact_groups admins check_command check-host-alive } define service{ use generic-service host_name mymachine service_description PING check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60% } If I use this, I get "Error: Could not find any host matching '$HOSTALIAS$'" define host{ host_name mymachine hostgroups MyGroup alias mymachine address 10.1.2.100 max_check_attempts 5 contact_groups admins check_command check-host-alive } define service{ use generic-service host_name %HOSTNAME% service_description PING check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60% } I'm probably doing something wrong with the macro, but can't seem to figure out what. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Terry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
