Hi guys,

 

I want to use the Nagios directive: 'cfg_dir=/new/directory' from within
a cfg_dir= defined already in the /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg file...

 

The reason?  Simple:

We have a cluster that has projects being dropped in and out all the
time... each project is stored in:

/opt/<random project folder>

 

I wanted to add a: /opt/<random project folder>/nagios directory to each
project so they can add and remove to it and keep with the global
monitoring of the cluster.  Thus keeping all monitoring centralized...

I was hoping I could do this through the adding and removing of files
(similar to how all other programs/services work) instead of
manipulating a file.

 

I want to avoid using 'sed' and updating the nagios.cfg file each time a
project is added or removed. Is this possible?

 

In retrospect:

/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg > #line 30 > cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/includes

/etc/nagios/includes/<random_project_id>.cfg > #line 1 >
cfg_dir=/opt/<random_project_id>/nagios

$> ls /opt/<random_project_id>/nagios

Test.cfg

Test2.cfg

Etc...

 

My proposed idea (an cfg_dir in a config file within a previously
defined cfg_dir) does not work... But I was curious on workarounds or
other great suggestions from others on ways around this.

 

Chris
