    That's probably not completely true, because the config files

Hi,

In fact no. Like Andreas said, Nagios do not even understand what an IP is. It's just a string for it to be pass to plugins as a macro (still a string). It will not parse it.

But it's good to have another address6 attribute in the host object in order to assign 2 addresses, use them via macros and not to depend on custom variables.

the patch on nagios exchange applies rather clean to nagios upstream. i've tried that myself whilst patching it into icinga, whereas the ipv6 support is happening thanks to that patch, with some slight enhancements to classicui and idoutils, but breaking the abi for other modules using host objects. but i can live with that, having the possibility of easy to use dualstacked monitoring like described here in the common ipv6 approach: https://wiki.icinga.org/display/howtos/Dualstack+%28IPv4%2C+IPv6%29+monitoring+with+Icinga

kind regards,
michael
