Wonderful program!! Thanks for *all* your hard work. I especially
appreciate the templates in 1.2; what a time-saver those are!

Debian Woody, package from backports.org
Kernel 2.6.7
Nagios 1.2

Problem: putting host_name into a service template causes a segfault.

Steps to reproduce: Define a service template. You don't need to create a
service that actually uses the template.

In the template, add host_name and any host or * (I tried both) and nagios
segfaults (forground, -v, or daemon).

Workaround: Put host_name in the actual service that uses a template, not
in the template.


Here is the generic template that came with my installation. The *only*
thing I've added is host_name. I'd trimmed it down so it was the *only*
defined service:

define service{
; The 'name' of this service template, referenced in other service
definitions
name generic-service
active_checks_enabled 0 ; Active service checks are disabled
passive_checks_enabled 0 ; Passive service checks are
enabled/disabled
parallelize_check 1 ; Active service checks should be parallelized
; (disabling this can lead
to major performance
problems)
obsess_over_service 1 ; We should obsess over this service (if
necessary)
check_freshness 0 ; Default is to NOT check service 'freshness'
notifications_enabled 0 ; Service notifications are disabled
event_handler_enabled 0 ; Service event handler is disabled
flap_detection_enabled 0 ; Flap detection is disabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information across
program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information
across program restarts

register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL
SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
host_name *
}






God bless,

justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received
by faith." Romans 3:23-25
