Hi Jean,
Let me try to explain again it in "old fashioned" Nagios style. I setup a host
in hosts.cfg where I tell the host to use a template configuration from
templates.cfg. Within the template there is a hostgroup defined, so all hosts
that are assigned to that template should be in that hostgroup.
Additionally I used the hostgroups.cfg file and created a different hostgroup,
where I added the host already defined with the template.
This causes to have two different groups with the same hosts and I am not sure
if that is really wanted.
Simple example:
templates.cfg
define host{
name
linux-server
use
generic-host
check_period 24x7
check_interval 5
retry_interval 5
max_check_attempts 2
check_command check_dummy!0
notification_period 24x7
notification_interval 1
notification_options d,u,r
contact_groups admins
register 0
hostgroups
ServeursRedHat
}
hosts.cfg :
define host{
use
linux-server
contact_groups admins
host_name srv-ipvs-1
realm EMEA
alias
srv-ipvs-1
address
192.168.0.1
check_interval 1
check_command check_host_alive
}
hostgroups.cfg:
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name sql_server
alias
SQL Servers
members srv-ipvs-1
realm EMEA
}
This will end up Thruk displaying two hostgroups (ServeursRedHat and
sql_server) with the srv-ipvs-1 hosts assigned to each hostgroup.
So I thought if one group should be overwritten, so just one is displayed, or
if that is a wanted feature.

Hi all,
Hi,
when I use a template where a hostgroup is already defined and then
also assign a hostgroup_name which is different from the one in the template in
the hostgroup.cfg, I can see two entries through the Thruk interface, with the
same host being in the two different hostgroups. Not sure if that is really a
feature, but from my point of view it seems to be a bug, because generally, the
"last" configuration options of the host, service, etc. usually overwrites the
top level or template confs.
Yes, the template should over right the host one, unless this value start with
a '+' (additive inheritance). But here it's another problem if I can understand
: you set a hostgroup in the host configuration, and in another hostgroup, you
set this host as a member is that right?
If I'm not wrong such configuration say "add to both" in Nagios, and it sound
logical to me (you got 2 way of adding into hostgroups, I don't think one is a
preferred way to the other).
Is it a configuration inherited from a Nagios ?
Thanks,
Jean
Regards
Michael
