Re: [Nagios-users] servicegroups directive doesn't seem to work

[Paul M. Dubuc]

FYI, The reason this wasn't working was that there was 'use' directive in the 
service template that was using a template that also has a servicegroups 
directive for another service group (that line got edited out of my example).
Putting a + sign in front of the ebusiness servicegroup name did the trick, 
adding the new service group instead of using it to replace the old one.

[Nagios-users] servicegroups directive doesn't seem to work

[Paul M. Dubuc]

Hello,

The documentation at 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html for 
Service Definition says that you can use a 'servicegroups' directive to 
assign a service to a servicegroup instead of using the 'members' 
directive in the service group:

> *servicegroups*: This directive is used to identify the /short 
> name(s)/ of the servicegroup(s) 
>  
> that the service belongs to. Multiple servicegroups should be 
> separated by commas. This directive may be used as an alternative to

> definitions.

I would like to do this using a service template that service 
definitions can use to do the assignment like the configuration below.  
This would save me from having to add many host,service pairs to the 
members directive in the service group.  But it doesn't seem to work 
(I'm using Nagios 3.2.0).  I get the following configuration error:

Error: Servicegroup members must be specified in 
, pairs (config file ' ...

I get the same error when I delete the service template and move the 
servicegroups directive into the service definitions.
What am  I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Paul Dubuc


define servicegroup{
servicegroup_name   ebusiness
alias   Business Services
#  members   ; use servcicegroups in service definitions below instead.
 }

#
# Nagios service definition template used by services in this config file
#
define service{
nameebusiness-service
register0   ; this is a template

servicegroups   ebusiness   ; add the service to this 
service group

}


define service{
use ebusiness-service
host_name   host1,host2
service_description service1

check_command  ...

}

#
# SciFinder Password Change test service
#
define service{
use ebusiness-service
host_name   host1,host2
service_descriptionservice2

check_command   ...

}
