Hi.
I have a custom arttribute for a host, which contains the name of another host
in my setup.
For example (not all attributes shown):
object Host "alpha" { vars.neighbour = "beta" }
So, for the object 'alpha', host.vars.neighbour has the value "beta".
The object 'beta' has all the usual attributes, such as display_name, address,
check_command etc.
object Host "beta" { display_name = "Beta test system" }
I'm trying to work out how to get the value of one of these attributes for the
'beta' object, starting from alpha's vars.neighbour attribute.
If I reference $host.vars.neighbour$, I get "beta".
So, starting from $host.vars.neighbour$ for "alpha", how can I get "Beta test
system"?
I've tried:
$host.vars.neighbour.display_name$
$host.vars.neighbour$.$display_name$
get_host("$host.vars.neighbour$").display_name
var neighbour="$host.vars.neighbour$"
neighbour.display_name
var neighbour="$host.vars.neighbour$"
$neighbour.display_name$
var neighbour=get_host("$host.vars.neighbour$")
neighbour.display_name
var neighbour=get_host("$host.vars.neighbour$")
$neighbour.display_name$
Nothing gives me what I need :(
In fact, most result in no value at all.
Can anyone point me at the correct syntax for de-referencing the variable
host.vars.neighbour so that I can get the display_name attribute for that
object?
Thanks,
Antony.
