GLPI entities / Shinken groups management

[mohierf]

Currently, GLPI entities used in a Shinken configuration are associated with hostgroups in Shinken configuration. It should be interesting to :

• define a business impact level in the entities
• generate dependencies between Shinken groups based upon entities hierarchy

In fact, business impact is a bad idea ! Shinken (nor Nagios) does not car this parameter ... forget it!

It seems that Shinken does not car much about hostgroup_members parameter ... despite it is managed in hostgroup.py class !

My test is with this hostgroup object :

define hostgroup{
       hostgroup_name                     cnamts
       alias                              CNAMTS
       hostgroup_members                  cgss_de_la_guadeloupe, cgss_de_la_martinique, cgss_de_la_reunion, cnam, cpam_dille-et-villaine, cpam_de__roubaix-tourcoing, cpam_de_artois, cpam_de_bobigny, cpam_de_gironde, cpam_de_haute_garonne, cpam_de_haute-savoie, cpam_de_indre_et_loire, cpam_de_lain, cpam_de_laisne, cpam_de_lallier, cpam_de_laude, cpam_de_lessonne, cpam_de_leure, cpam_de_leure_et_loire, cpam_de_lherault, cpam_de_lisere, cpam_de_loise, cpam_de_la_dordogne, cpam_de_la_drome, cpam_de_la_haute_marne, cpam_de_la_loire, cpam_de_la_lozere, cpam_de_la_manche, cpam_de_la_marne, cpam_de_la_meuse, cpam_de_la_moselle, cpam_de_la_somme, cpam_de_la_vendee, cpam_de_la_vienne, cpam_de_lille-douai, cpam_de_loire-atlantique, cpam_de_maine-et-loire, cpam_de_meurthe_et_moselle, cpam_de_nanterre, cpam_de_paris, cpam_de_puy_de_dome, cpam_de_rouen-elbeuf-dieppe, cpam_de_saone_et_loire, cpam_de_sarthe, cpam_de_savoie, cpam_de_seine_et_marne, cpam_des_alpes-maritimes, cpam_des_ardennes, cpam_des_bouches-du-rhone, cpam_des_cotes-darmor, cpam_des_flandres, cpam_des_landes, cpam_des_yvelines, cpam_du_bas-rhin, cpam_du_calvados, cpam_du_cote_dopale, cpam_du_doubs, cpam_du_finistere, cpam_du_gard, cpam_du_hainaut, cpam_du_haut-rhin, cpam_du_havre, cpam_du_jura, cpam_du_loiret, cpam_du_morbihan, cpam_du_rhone, cpam_du_val_de_marne, cpam_du_val-doise, cpam_du_var, cpam_du_vaucluse, cpam_test
}

Too many groups perharps ? To be confirmed ...
