Characters in Object Definitions?

[Gerd Mueller]

Hi,

you will find them inside nagios.cfg:

# ILLEGAL OBJECT NAME CHARACTERS
# This option allows you to specify illegal characters that cannot
# be used in host names, service descriptions, or names of other
# object types.

illegal_object_name_chars=`~!$%^&*|'"<>?,()=

Cheers,

Gerd
