I have big problem. I configure all my windows, linux clients, switches. When i look at to my status map all my clients directly connected to nagios. and all servers says Parent Host: No (This is a root host). And there is no dependence.
How can i configure dependence and improve my status map.
Best regards.
In host definition there is parents variable which you can use to make hierarchy.
Hi,
I agree with Albin,
The configuration should look like this.
define host{
use generic-switch ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name (Hostname) ; The name we’re giving to this switch
parents (Name of the parent system)
alias (Location of the server(In my case)) ; A longer name associated with the switch
address (IP adres) ; IP address of the switch
hostgroups (Groupename) ; Host groups this switch is associated with
}
Good luck with it
