Hi
often new nagios users confuse object types. Especially if those new
useres blindly use the provided sample config or the provided by
packages (.deb, .rpm).
One thing which leads to this is that object names do not tell anything
about the type. Another is that "check_" as prefix to checkcommands
makes people think theses are actual checks .. which would be services
in nagios.
So what i do and what i would like to see in sample configs is a
consistent way of prefixing object names. Here is a proposal for prefixes:
Services s_
Service Groups sg_
Hosts h_
Host Groups hg_
Contacts c_
Contact Groups cg_
Commands cc_
Time Periods tp_
Service Escalations se_
Service Dependencies sd_
Host Escalations he_
Host Dependencies hd_
Extended Host Information eh_
Extended Service Information es_
