migration from nagios2 => nagios3 ; host name definition

[Steve Kieu]

Hello everyone,

The first question is, what is the meaning of directive  *name*  in host
definition? The document says there is no such thing, only *host_name* but
if put name there nagios (both 2 and 3 does not complain)

Longer explanation follows.

When using nagios config version 2 in nagios3 I have some errors. Looking at
the config of version 2 I see:

define host{
  name      standard-host
  use     generic-host    ; Name of host template to use
  register    0       ; Template - don't register
  host_name   not-defined
  alias     not-defined
  check_command   check-host-alive
  contact_groups pager
  notification_period 24x7
  }


define host{
        name                    virtual-host
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host
template
to use
        register                0                       ; Template - don't
regis
ter
        host_name               not-defined
        alias                   not-defined
        check_command           check-host-alive
        contact_groups          pager
        notification_period     workhours
}


It worked with nagios2 ; nagios3 Warning: Duplicate definition found for
host 'not-defined'
and then error  Could not add object property at line point to host_name
not-defined.

I changed the value of host_name to be uniques such as not-defined0,
not-defined1 and it stop complaining. But I do not know what nagios3
understand that in case name  and host_name are both defined in host
definition?


Many thanks in advance
