Nagios Support Forum

I see the locked thread from 2011 talking about code changes needing to be made to be able to customize config wizards to set things like host groups, etc. automatically. Any update on this?

There are features coming in the newest version that will allow you to do this through the GUI. In the meantime these defaults can be adjusted using the following documentation:

A little background, I'm using custom variables tied to service templates that are in turn tied to services to define the check type as well as the defined procedure for a given type of check (disk_root_linux for example) and then referencing that in my wiki by querying the data directly from Nagios. From there, I'm using the "Actions" component to put a link to the direct RunBook at the service level so it's literally clickity-click-click-click for my NOC guys. The whole idea is to make the entire process circular so that we can tie information together across the board.

I ended up having to fall back and use Host Templates to link the Host Groups to the new host being imported by the wizard which in turn made the queries I'm doing for my RunBooks more complicated. /sigh

Go ahead and close the topic.
