Add duplicate IP Address test to preflight checks
Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2019 4:24 am
Can you please add a duplicate IP address test for different hosts when running preflight checks please?
I'm currently updating an existing environment and doing a lot of copy and pasting when creating new hosts.
Very rarely, I forget to update the IP address on the new entry and it retains the previous hosts ip address.
This does not show itself as a problem when viewing the nagios charts on the website as the host is technically up (I get around this by adding in the system/node check in NCPA so I have a visual sanity check when viewing the web console).
It would be great if nagios could pick this up before I restart the nagios service after adding in new hosts.
