I’d personally set these thresholds inside the service apply rules, and use the
assign where/ignore where expressions to selectively apply certain services
with different thresholds. Similar to what Thomas already posted.
A different approach might also be to add conditionals inside your service
apply rules, for example:
apply Service “ping4” {
check_command = “ping4”
if (host.vars.customer == “abcd”) {
vars.ping_cpl = 50
} else if (host.vars.customer == “efgh”) {
vars.ping_cl = 30
} else { //default
vars.ping_cpl = 40
}
assign where host.address
}
Service apply rules may access all host configuration attributes, so you’re not
bound to custom variables here. One could also match against the host name, or
its display_name.
Kind regards,
