Imported Config Files - Hosts/Service Check settings

Post by peakyblinder »

Hi,

Just curious... If I import all config from another instance (core for example), and I select a service. Should I see all the check settings (check interval, restry etc...) there or should I have to navigate to the associated template to view the settings?

Just seems kind of long winded. I thought the settings would be pulled through into the service check settings tab.

I'd like to rephrase this... It doesn't look like any host check settings were imported with the template. None of the hosts have ping checks configured.

If it's in the imported config I would expect to see it in the UI. What version are you importing from/to? Can you share some example config files you imported?

Hi,

In regards to the check command, I'm ignoring that for now. Have used the bulk config tool to add the ping check to each host.
In regards to the check settings, I see you have to drill down to the associated template to see them. I just thought these would be pulled through to the hosts and services for some reason.
