Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

This may be related to the way that I am used to configuring Nagios, but I have checks that are applied to Host Groups. Not all of my kit conforms to the same requirements so I would have normally added the following to a service check:

hostgroup_name windows_servers
host_name !exclude_this_server


I'm using the VM packaged Nagios Core that comes with CCM. How would I do the same with this?

Thanks

This is one of the shortcomings of the CCM, and is on the TODO list, but here is how you can accomplish the task.

Add the host_group as normal.

Go to Misc Settings Tab -> Manage Variable Definitions

In "Variable name" enter host_name
In "Variable value" enter !exclude_this_server
Close
Save
Apply Configuration

That works perfectly, thank you.

If I wanted to add another device, is it the same comma separated listed?

I believe it should be defined as such:
