New install, how to use director to setup the first monitor

[moreamazingnick]

I think this pretty much describes how to set up a command in director:

Include external Commands

it is about the followinf check: https://github.com/NETWAYS/check_system_basics this imports system_basics which is also relevant for the command, but here is your basket: Director-Basket_1_test_959_acbd944.json.txt (28.9 KB) [Screenshot 2024-02-14 115356] [Screenshot 2024-02-14 115731] You can use this to work yourself through the other commands and learn how to add them: Create a command: [Screenshot 2024-02-14 120238] Add an agrument: [Screenshot 2024-02-14 120304] add the field…

But for the external commands (imported via kickstarter) you only need to add the fields you need.

Now that you command has fields you can create a service template for that.

A service template can use a command. As soon as you select the command in the service template you can see the fields previously added to the command.

Save the template with some meaningful name.

Do the same with the host template. (with the hostalive command, icmp would be better but use hostalive, if you want no hostcheck use dummy)

now you have a hosttemplate.

create a host that imports the hosttemplate.

create a service on the host that uses the servicetemplate.

you can also create a hosttemplate that has a service, if you use the hosttemplate for the host, the service is applied too.
