Hello list. As my first post to the list, I'ld like to thank mathias and others for creating such an awesome product.
My actual question is about the log_initial_states config variable. We are monitoring a cloud platform with lots of resources (and thus checks) being added and removed. To add and remove the checks we use the .mk files in the ~/var/check_mk/autochecks/ directory, but we need to reload nagios to make it read the altered configurations. We alter the .mk files because we rather not put a "cmk -IIu --checks=xxx HOST" in a script as this would remove checks for services that are unknown at the moment when we want to explicitly remove a particular service. I've seen that every reload also logs the initial states. I'm a bit worried about performance of SLA (statehist) functionality after a while when lot's of reloads are done. I was wondering if there are other ways of adding services without logging the initial states. I was looking at the external commands that can be sent to the nagios command pipe for an "ADD_SERVICE" or similar, but I don't think it can be done. If it were possible to add a service in that way, I could have the nagios config rebuilt anyway so that the service is in the config for when a real reload or restart is needed. Thanks in advance to shed some light on this. Kind regards, Michael Van Wesenbeeck _______________________________________________ omd-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.mathias-kettner.de/mailman/listinfo/omd-users
