multiple checks for one service -> on demand Macro problem

[Matthias Eble]

Hi all,

i've got to monitor a service with multiple checks. The process needs to 
be restarted if one of the check fails.

So I thought about using check_cluster and an event handler on the 
cluster service. But now I got to a limit of the configuration (or my 
knowledge of it).

On demand macros are needed for check_cluster2:

check_svc_cluster!label!1!1!
$SERVICESTATEID:hostname1:Server Log Fileage$, 
$SERVICESTATEID:hostname1:Server Port 10000$, 
$SERVICESTATEID:hostname1:http Webgui$


But the service runs on 20 hosts so defining a seperate service check 
for each server wouldn't be that cool.

is there a possibility to define sth like

$SERVICESTATEID:$HOSTNAME$:Server Log Fileage$   ?

I found discussions about parsing from inside to outside in the 
archives. Has there been a patch?



my workaround is to write a plugin-wrapper-script which stores the 
returncode in a textfile. Another plugin can implement the check_cluster 
functionality on the textfiles


How do you think about that?


thanks in advance.
