HELP: understanding host and service templates

Hello,
I am using R1.7 prebuilt VM.

When using the NRPE Wizard inside XI, 3 services are automatically populated when creating a host.

1. check_users
2. check_load
3. check_total_procs
+ ping

Where do these come from? It seems
HOST TEMPLATES:
xiwizard_linuxserver_host
xiwizard_generic_host

SERVICE TEMPLATES:
xiwizard_nrpe_service
xiwizard_generic_service

do not define these 3 services from what I can tell.

Any idea why these 3 services are showing up on this wizard?

TIA.

Jeff

The wizards auto-generate configurations, they don't pull a list of services from any template. The wizard will write new configurations files each time they're run. The services added from a wizard are not based on templates.

Thank you. I used to have the same problem with jrmartin too. :)
