Multiple Templates on a host don't work
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2016 3:24 pm
I'm running Nagios XI 5.2.3 on the VMWare vApp, which appears to be running CentOS 6.7.
I've created a bunch of host templates, and tied these host templates to host groups. Then I've tied services to these host groups. Whenever I tie multiple templates to a host, only the first template listed works, everything after has no effect.
So for example I have a host group for SQL Servers that has all my checks for a SQL server. I've tied a host template to this hostgroup. Then I have another host group for Windows Servers and have a host template tied to this host group. The reason I want to tie it to a template is because my notifications on a SQL Server could be different than just a Windows Server, and I would like to bring this notification information over.
There may be a better way to accomplish what I want, but everything I read said to use templates as much as possible. Please let me know the best way to accomplish this.
Thanks
