I have several services defined over a host group. On a few machines the alerting criteria needs to be "tighter". If I define multiple hosts in CCM it seems only the first host gets the service. For example I have a machine ven3.vca.com which is in hostgroup Windows-Servers. I have defined the service "Disk Space" for the hostgroup with alerting at 80% and 90%. For a handful of machines I would like to alert on 90% and 95%. I created another service with these parameters but ven3.vca.com still alerts at 80%. If I create three services, one for each host, then it overrides the hostgroup service def. What am I missing here?
define service {
service_description Disk Space
use generic-service
hostgroup_name Windows-Servers
check_command check_win_disk!.!80!90!!!!!
register 1
}
define service {
host_name citrixlicense.vca.com,isa2004.vca.com,ven3.vca.com
service_description Disk Space
use generic-service
check_command check_win_disk!.!90!95!!!!!
register 1
}
I don't know if there's a simple solution in the CCM for this, but take a look at this Core doc on inheritance and see if the option you need is in there. (I haven't played with these, but I think what you're looking for can be done). http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... tance.html
With respect I think you missed my point. Normally with duplicate service definitions I would bang out (!isa2004.vca.com,!ven3.vca.com,...) but I cannot figure out how to do that in CCM. Also why would it work for individual host names. For example if I define three services with one hostname on each they will override the service def with the hostgroup but if I define just one with multiple hosts it only seems to override the hostgroup service on the last host in the list.
How do I bang out (!isa2004.vca.com,!ven3.vca.com,...) in CCM?

Currently the CCM does not the allow the '!' exclusions. In order to use that you'd have to maintain that set of configs manually in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/static directory.
