Re: [hobbit] Is there a way to clone host definitions in bb-hosts?



So I was curious about the whole macro thing and decided to test it out. It has only been a few minutes but the following seems to work fine. I hope this helps in some way.



bb-hosts:

$foo="dns"
ipaddress    servername             # $foo


Regards,

Tim

As mentioned, perhaps someone with knowledge on the topic can answer.

To extend the question further, since macros (variables) are able to be used within the hobbit-alerts.cfg file I wonder if variables can be assigned in bb-hosts and hobbit-clients.cfg? At one point I thought of trying to keep all of our host/client/alerts data within mysql, but it was only a thought.

Surely there must be a way to template this, I just can't find it in
the bb-hosts manpage...

and so on in mind-numbing repetition...
==============================

I'd like to be able to define the tags in a template, and simply use
that template.  Does this mechanism exist in bb-host?  That way
if/when I need to change the tags for all my hosts, I only need to do
it in one place, and not on every line in 3 different files.
