Hi,

just started to look inside Nagios, so this might be an easy one.. Would be very happy if you can point me the right direction..

I'd like to achieve:
- define HOSTGROUP samba including x hosts
- define generic service check
- provide per host variables (share name, user name, pwd)

I've managed #1 + #2 - but so far I cannot use a host variable in service.cfg or /etc/nagios-plugins/config/disk-smb.cfg directly..
I've tried different format, e.g. <user>, $user$ - no avail so far..

Thanks!

Code: Select all

define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name  samba-servers
                alias           SAMBA servers
                members         banana,power,office
        }

Code: Select all

define service {
        hostgroup_name                  samba-servers
        service_description             SAMBA
        check_command                   check_disk_smb!share!user!password
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           2
        retry_check_interval            1
        process_perf_data               1
        use                             generic-service
        notification_interval           0 
}

Code: Select all

define host{
        use             generic-host
        host_name       banana
        alias           banana
        address         192.168.177.70 
        _smb_share      share
        _smb_user       user
        _smb_pwd        password
        }

Host custom variables need to be in the format $_HOSTMY_VARIABLE_NAME$.

For example:

Code: Select all

$_HOSTSMB_SHARE$
$_HOSTSMB_USER$
$_HOSTSMB_PWD$
