How do I use the global vars in the IcingaApplication object

Icinga Web Modules Icinga Director
,
1

Hello,

According to the docs that I can’t link for whatever reason (icinga2 docs > Object Types > IcingaApplication), I can use the vars attribute on the IcingaApplication object. I have specified a dict there and the config check passes but I have no clue how to reference its values in the director.

I have not found any documentation on the matter.

Best regards and thank you in advance,
Niko
