Does this documentation apply to ver 4.2.2 or only the latest ver 4.3.1? If 'NO' where can I see documentation for version 4.2.2 please?
The reason I ask is that my service definitions currently look like this:
define service{
use generic-service,nagiosgraph
host_name cam-posa-prod
service_description Prima
check_command check_nrpe!check_proc_prima
contact_groups primaadmins
_guide http://wiki.internal/Sysadmin/InfoEmerg ... Primatools
_priority 2
}
Based on the current documentation, I'm using 3 directives that no longer exist and I'm missing 7 directives that are supposedly required. Strangely my service definitions still work, although I don't understand how.
- What has happened to 'use', '_guide', and '_priority'?
If they are still valid why aren't they in the documentation?
If they are not valid, what has replaced them?
Is there a table somewhere that shows what directives have been replaced and by what?
