Thanks for the quick response guys! Jim, Just to clarify, i'm not actually configuring any hosts from the slave box? My understanding was that all configuration should be done on the master, and the settings would be pushed out to the slaves? If I tried to configure something on the slave machine, would the changes not be overwritten when I next updated the master? Is it not possible to add a host using wato on the master, but configure it to only be monitored by the slave?
Tom, that was almost what I was looking for, but in reverse! I want the master to only see the monitoring results of these hosts through the slave's livestatus, but to be managed and configured by the master? Cheers again guys!
