[Nagiosplug-devel] Passing arguments to a servce?

[Jos Visser]

Well, there is the templating system:

define service {
	name sybase-generic
	bla bla
	bla bla
	register 0
}

define service {
	use sybase-generic
	host_name server1
	check_command sybase-check!arg1!arg2
}

define service {
	use sybase-generic
	host_name server1,server2
	check_command sybase-check!arg3!arg4
}

and so forth...

I use it extensively and it works great!
