I ran into a problem when updating ‘vars.notification.mail.users’. I send an update request through the API, I can see (in the web interface) that it made it into the config. However, the “Contacts” information is not updated and no emails are sent.
Do I have to trigger the update somehow? I couldn’t find any hint in the docu or elsewhere.
BTW, this is the first issue I ran into and I’m monitoring >1000 host and approx. 4000 services. Thanks to whoever wrote the documentation!
Maybe I’m just suffering from fatigue
During the test I noticed that the API isn’t checking whether the user actually excists, is that right?
So far I didn’t use the API, I created the config fiels per script from databases holding the host information. I’d like to switch to the API however, in order to avoid the step of creating config files.
What’s the best way to handle configs for a highly heterogeneous environment?
This is for a particle accelerator control system. Meaning, we have everything from ancient hardware - that’s older than me - to cutting edge stuff. Also, inherently it’s scattered around and split into several separated sub-nets.
Any suggestion appreciated!
