great, that you shared your test-results. Thanks. > The usage of the keywords locals, this and globals aren't necessary just > for readability.

Some other girl/guy, reading your config may not know it. So even when accessing a local variable, it may be good practice, to prepend it with "locals." when you have variables with the same name in different scopes. With "just for readability" I only meant your special case of using "locals" for a local variable. > With the keyword you can force Icinga 2 to take a specific scope variable. Jepp. Again, if you have a variable with the same name in global- and in local-scope, you have to prepend it with "globals.", to acces the one in the global-space. You dont' have to use "locals." to access the one in the local scope, but you CAN if you whish. Hope I clarified it a little. best regards Kai _______________________________________________ icinga-users mailing list icinga-users@lists.icinga.org https://lists.icinga.org/mailman/listinfo/icinga-users
