Inherit contacts from host #27

Open lunze opened 8 years ago

lunze commented 8 years ago

Hi, i have a problem with inheritance of contacts and groups.

I am using the following software-versions: centreon-engine 1.4.13 centreon 2.6.1 centreon-broker 2.8.2

So first, i create a host which is using a hosttemplate. There are a few servicetemplates which are connected to this hosttemplate. Than i connect a contactgroup to this host.

After creation all contacts will be notified if a problem occurs with the host or some services of its hosttemplate. Thats all fine, because the services inherit from the host, they are connected to.

Now i want additionally inform another group if there is a problem with any instance of one special servicetemplate. Thats why i connect this group to this special servicetemplates.

The problem is, that only this group is informed and not anymore the group which is connected to the host. Is it possible to create a new function to "Inherit contacts from host" which will ever work? Not only for services, also for servicetemplates!

I know there is such a function for services, but this only works if the service has no contacts defined. Such a new function would be very helpful, because now i have to add all contactgroups of the host to the services manually after creation out of templates.

If you need more informations from me let me know it. With nice regards.

PS: or is there a possibility / way to create such a behaviour?

@julienmathis what do you think about this feature ?

ganoze commented 8 years ago

Granted, this will be developed in the 1.5 branch.

Unfortunately, this enhancement was not integrated in Centreon Engine 1.5 that will be released in the next weeks.

It is postponed for a future release.
