I feel your pain , have you checked for empty lines near your
service definitions ?
e.g.
hostname foobar 10.0.0.2
watch foobar
service wibble_ok
service wibble_also_ok
service wibble_will_be_ignored
hostname foobaz 10.0.0.3
watch foobar
service wibble_will_also be_ignored
service none_of_the_others_will_run_despite_being_ok
This one bites my ass regularly especially with m4 generated configs.
I'm looking at solving this problem in general and i think it can be done
by piping the config file through sed which could run a regex to filter
newlines around services. That said i am wary of adding more post-processing
to my config files and would like to fix it in the mon source .
I'm happy to produce a patch to solve this if people feed me the necessary
tuits.
Anyone else implemented this or similar ?
