Services by host groups are converted to services by hosts

[euidzero]

Importing a service by host group splits it to multiple services by hosts for every host in the group

define hostgroup{ hostgroup_name Physical_server_with_soft_raid members host1, host2, host3 }

define service{ hostgroup_name Physical_server_with_soft_raid service_description check_nrpe_cores_temp use modele_service_nrpe check_command check_nrpe_check_cores_temp }

becomes SERVICE;ADD;host1;check_nrpe_cores_temp;from_service_by_hg_check_nrpe_cores_temp SERVICE;ADD;host2;check_nrpe_cores_temp;from_service_by_hg_check_nrpe_cores_temp SERVICE;ADD;host3;check_nrpe_cores_temp;from_service_by_hg_check_nrpe_cores_temp

which is repeated twice in the centreon_clapi_import_commands.txt

Hi, Yes it is a desired behavior

Service by hostgroup have doesn't allow to see them into Centreoni n the "Configuration -> Services -> Services by host".

Moreover, If you change a value in the definition of a service by hostgoup, all services will be impacted.

centreon team prefer to use template of services to use inheritance.

IMHO The nagios importer shall respect the structure decided by the user who create the nagios configuration and not substitute to the user. A data importer should be neutral with respect to the structure.

I ended up with hundreds of undesired services while importing an old nagios+centreon config that only count 10 services by host groups.

At least there should be a switch and proper documentation. Thanks

I understand your point of view but in the future of Centreon, service by hostgroup may disappear.

So I can add an option --use-hg-service to keep service by hostgroup. Without option, service by hostgroup will be use service template.

Do you agree ?

[euidzero]

Definitely. Thanks

See my comment on the commit : the HGSERVICE creation should be in the outer loop.

sorry corrected I hope

So I can add an option --use-hg-service [..]

In the current code this is --servcies-hg, not --use-hg-service (also misspelled :))
