[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#342010: nagios-common: Some info about cfg_dir and nagioshost in README.Debian

[Libor Klepac]

Package: nagios-common
Version: 2:1.3-cvs.20050402-10
Severity: wishlist

Hello,
what about enabling support for splitted up configuration of services(or
others?) ?
Like this...in /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

cfg_file=/etc/nagios/services.cfg                                               
cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/services

/etc/nagios/services.cfg should contain only templates, all hosts will
have separate file in /etc/nagios/services.
I have very large service.cfg file and this separation helped me.
I think, there is no need to modify shipped services.cfg, enabling support
for directory based configuration and mentioning it in README.Debian should be enought.

Second thing,
in
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/eventhandlers/distributed-monitoring/submit_check_result_via_nsca
there is hardcoded hostname nagioshost. 
Maybe you should mention in README.Debian, that users who want to use
this script, should put some ip address to /etc/hosts or overwrite it in
this script.

thanks
