Hey there!

To be honest, I don’t quite understand what you are asking, would it be possible for you to rephrase the question?

It also sounds like a question about functionalities in the director, so I would move it to the director category…?

Have a nice day,
Feu

hi thanks for the reply , let me rephrase my question again

We have created a push template and all the single services are applied using this template. When we add a new server, we add it through this template so all services are applied to this new server automatically and it is working. Ex: 10 single services are added to a single template and applied to all new servers that are added. However this automation as of today cannot be overridden and what we are looking for is an override option for servers for which we don’t want all the services to be running or to the servers wherein I have to pass some other information like a username and password or anything else.

Hi @KawhiLeonard93,

you only can override setting for which you have data fields assigned. Let’s make an example:

  • you have a host template named Icinga2Core
  • you assigned the service load to this template
  • the service load is a service template
  • so you register $load_wload1$ and $load_wload5$ and $load_wload15$ and so on (whatever the CheckCommand for load defines) as data fields
  • the you assign the needed data fields to your service template
  • and you specify defaults for these data fields in your load service template
  • and then, you can override these defaults on a per-host base

If you don’t assign data fields, your only possibility is to blacklist the whole service for a specific host.

When you’re talking about lots of servers it may make sense to create an own template for them with own defaults.

Hope this helps – and see you soon?

Hello there!

I would like to ask you to not bump your topics.
This forum works on the basis of people answering because they want to help and bumping is generally seen as rude :slight_smile:

If you don’t get a response to a topic, it’s usually because there wasn’t anyone who could help you at this point.

If you need more help with a topic and want to put it on the front page again, a good way to do so is giving an update on what you have tried since your last post to give people a few pointers.
Maybe there will be someone able to help you from there.

Greetings
