Quick Question regarding bulk modifications

[bosecorp]

I am trying to adjust the Memory threshold for all my windows servers. this threshold is configured via ARG in each service. is there any way to bulk modify the threshold for critical and warning instead of doing it one by one

Not currently, but I am working on a component to assist with this. The difficulty is that each plugin defines thresholds in a different way. You could have:

Code: Select all

-w 60 -c 90
--warning=60 --critical=90
-warn 60% -crit 90%
--LOW=60 --HIGH=90

or many other combinations of flags. Without a single, standardized format that all plugins use, it is both difficult and dangerous to do mass changes. I have some rough ideas of how to manage this, but I am still very early in the stages of testing out solutions.

Ok, Thank you

bosecorp...

it might be a good opportunity to look at the way your hosts/services are laid out. If you have a fixed service that you want to apply to a pile of hosts it would be easier to go in and delete all of the "separate services" defined and combine them into 1 service that is either applied to many hosts rather than to modify each existing service entry.

Just a thought.

Thanks jdalrymple

I was just trying to find an easy way to make this change without a lot effort.

Trevor,

The other thing is some people(eh-hem, ME) have -w and -c hard coded in the command definitions and ARG1 is for warning and ARG2 is for critical value. So just being able to mass update ARGs would be a nice thing.

I totally agree, BanditBBS. This could be a real time-saver.

[bosecorp]

i hope we can see that in near future releases
