Hi,
I have 448 Service Check to update the check_command. I forgot to specify the unit.
I have change -u to -u M in the check_command. What is the best way to do that.
Thank you!!!

Can you show us the full command definition, along with a sample service definition so that we can see where the variables are placed? You should be able to use the bulk modifications tool, but could vary depending on how things are setup.

We plan to buy the enterprise edition to use bulk tool but for the moment I don't have that option.
I have to modify a lot of $ARG1$ and append the letter M to see the Unit in Bytes.
Before
-t 'token' -P 5693 -M memory/swap -u -w 50 -c 80
After
-t 'token' -P 5693 -M memory/swap -u M -w 50 -c 80
Full example of the service. All the other 448 are exactly the same.
Before
Code: Select all
define service {
host_name hostname
service_description Swap Usage
use xi_nonprod_ncpa_service
check_command check_xi_ncpa!-t 'token' -P 5693 -M memory/swap -u -w 50 -c 80
register 1
}
Code: Select all
define service {
host_name hostname
service_description Swap Usage
use xi_nonprod_ncpa_service
check_command check_xi_ncpa!-t 'token' -P 5693 -M memory/swap -u M -w 50 -c 80
register 1
}
Thank you!

Have you used the enterprise trial that came with your license? For changing a lot of services at once, the bulk mod tool is really the only way to go, without adding / removing services in bulk.
In the future, it might be worth using templates / groups in order to standardize things across the board.

Just checking in since we have not heard from you in a while. Did
@rkennedy's post clear things up?
