Hi all,
we’re using director import to create our hosts with a lot of custom varibables.
Now I want to setup an http monitor which a specific port (-p XXXX) based on the hosts stage. I have the stage as custom variables like “production” or “testing”. And I need something like:
Production = 0
Testing = 1
Development = 2

Is this somehow possible? I dont want to create a ServiceSet for each Stage. I thought its maybe possible to setup one apply rule and the port is a variable which looks up the stage and translates to the port number.
Maybe you have an idea.

Thanks,
Marcel

okay I could use the “map” function from director and create a new custom variable. But I thought, that I could avoid creating a new custom variable.

Hi,

another possibility would be to save this with the host vars. In the service definition you yould access to this var. We are doing this very often
