Attempting to Use Multiple Variables in Service Template
Posted: Thu May 31, 2018 1:47 pm
Hello, I've in the process of attempting to use either a host variable or free variable in a service check for monitoring Microsoft queues using a service template but am having a problem with the resolution of either variable type used. Following is the actual service check using the Host free variable:
check_msmqv6_SITE!"MessageCount $HOSTALIAS$\\private$\\commandpayloadprocessorhost_$_HOSTSITE$/commandpayloadprocessorservice.svc 250 500"!!!!!!!
When this command is processed in the nagios xi gui, following is how it is resolved:
Server_FQDN\private$\commandpayloadprocessorhost_$/commandpayloadprocessorservice.svc
As you can see, the free variable $_HOSTSITE$ fails to resolve. I know it's possible that it may be some type of syntax problem with this specific command but I have used the free variable in a number of other service templates without a problem. It appears to be related to the position of the varible in the command. As a test, if I reverse the position of the host free variable with the host variable ($HOSTALIAS$) then the host variable fails to resolve. Reference below:
Host_free_variable\private$\commandpayloadprocessorhost_$/commandpayloadprocessorservice.svc
There appears to be some issue with resolution of the variables toward the middle of the command. I may be trying to perform something that is not allowed. Is it possible to use multiple variables in a single command?
Comments, thoughts are appreciated.
regards, Marcus
