Re: [icinga-users] how to ignore a Host

I would like to ignore them as if they didn't exist, as if Icinga did not care to check their status. The reason is because my list of host objects is imported automatically and it's a very large list. There's a subset of hosts we don't want icinga to monitor, and it would be easier for me to tell

Hi Michael, so what do you mean with ignore? If it's showing OK, you can ignore the host, don't you? If you don't use a check_command, what should be shown in the Web-interface? Or do you want the hosts be hidden from the Webinterface? How do you want to hide them? If from the GUI, how would you r

Hi Kai, Yes, I understand that. But a dummy check that always returns OK is misleading. The hosts themselves may be Up, may be Down, but for a particular subset of hosts we don't want to know either way. We would rather ignore them. On Fri, Oct 7, 2016 at 5:04 AM, Kai Nothdurft wrote: > Hi Micha

Hi Michael, I know, you wrote, that you don't want to assign a dummy check - but why not? You could use the built-in "dummy"-check for this: object Host "unchecked-host" { import "generic-host" check_command = "dummy" vars.dummy_state = 0 vars.dummy_text = "This host

Hi Hasan, thanks for your reply. I should be more clear: I am actually looking to ignore the Host check itself. What you've written works for service checks only. On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 10:26 AM, hasan akgöz wrote: > Hello Michael, > > if you hostname or ip adress whatever is static you can use i

Hello Michael, if you hostname or ip adress whatever is static you can use ignore keyword follow like ; apply Service "Service Name" { ... assign where match("web*.example.org", host.name) ignore where host.name } 2016-10-05 19:51 GMT+03:00 Michael Martinez : > we need to exclude certa

Any ideas? The reason I need this is that I have a script which generates a list of "object Host" for our EC2 instances.

2016-10-04 Thread Michael Martinez
Is there a way to tell Icinga2 not to monitor a particular Host object? To completely ignore it. Does putting it into Downtime achieve this, or is there another way? Thanks for your help! -- --- Michael Martinez http://www.michael--martinez.com ___ ici
