Nagios Support Forum

The regex is for host pattern matching. Is there any way to only send one specific service for a host? Sure wish there was a regex box for service matching too

Are you talking about when searching?

No sir.....I'm talking about setting up what HOSTS tp send to another XI server, why is there no option to specify services? I have one HOST with like 50 services and I only want one of those services sent over to another XI server.

That explain it better?

Ah gotcha, haven't had my coffee because someone made it with sour tasting water, didn't read the title of the thread. Unfortunately "at this time" you cannot pick and choose services, nagios will forward all of the the services under the regexed host.

Hey now, 99% of the time my topic is important, LOL.

Any harm in leaving the ~50 other services in "unconfigured objects" or should i add them into XI and just assign no contacts?

Haha, eh, you should be just fine leaving them there. Nagios is essentially just forwarding their check result so they appear just as any other passive service would. You will get entries in your logs about them being in unconfigured objects but it should not harm anything.

Ok, cool. The reason I was asking is because in some thread in these forums I remember reading that keeping stuff there could back something up, I don't recall exactly what. Just wanted to make sure.

feel free to close this up!

Sounds good! You should not have any degraded performance from this, unless you have thousands of unconfigured objects all trying to hit nagios, and subsequently being logged because nagios cannot find a home for them.
