You’re going to have to move the attribute declaration _into_ the apply rule:
apply Service "clusterx" { vars.elb["x"] = [ "xx.ap-northeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com" , "xy.ap-northeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com" ] .... if (!vars.elb["x"] { log("Array not defined") } ... } Otherwise your assignment would create a global variable „vars“ – which is not associated with any service and therefore has no effect. This seems like a good opportunity to mention https://www.icinga.org/2015/11/12/icinga-2-script-debugger/ :) -----Original Message----- From: icinga-users <icinga-users-boun...@lists.icinga.org> on behalf of Michael Martinez <mwt...@gmail.com> Reply-To: "icinga-users@lists.icinga.org" <icinga-users@lists.icinga.org> Date: Friday 12 August 2016 at 20:10 To: "icinga-users@lists.icinga.org" <icinga-users@lists.icinga.org> Subject: Re: [icinga-users] Using check_multi with Icinga2 On Thu, Aug 11, 2016 at 11:53 PM, Michael Friedrich <michael.friedr...@netways.de> wrote: > That as such won’t work since the custom attributes values are computed at config compile time.

This works. Thanks so much for the clarification. Now I'm running into a new challenge. I would like to construct an array of hostnames and then reference this array inside a service object, as follows: vars.elb["x"] = [ "xx.ap-northeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com" , "xy.ap-northeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com" ] apply Service "clusterx" { .... if (!vars.elb["x"] { log("Array not defined") } ... } The log statement shows me that this array is not defined in the service definition.
