To filter the original host template and service template for a better usage of the plugin pack

  • Persona : As a Centreon administrator

  • Problem to solve : Actually with the plugin pack, it possible to select the original template. The best practice is to use the -custom template, because if we update the rpm package of plugin pack, all the modification on this original template is erased, because it’s reinstalled. Many Centreon administrator forgot to select the -custom even when you duplicate a -custom template to inherit and personalize it

  • Expected outcome : Impossibility of select the original host or service template, and when you duplicate a -custom host or service template replace the original by the -custom to be compliant with the best practice of the plugin pack usage.

  • Potential solutions : Maybe it’s possible to add a column on database to flag the developer or original host or service template, just to hide them when you open the list of template. About the duplicate process, maybe it’s possible to replace the original template by the -custom at the end of the process of duplication.

Regards

Hi @gespada,

I would be glad to have a talk with you regarding this idea if you agree.

Can you send me a direct message?

Regards

Hi,

This is something I was also thinking of. We create our own host/service templates which are based on those “*-custom” templates which come with plugin packs. After that the list of visible host/service templates grows very quickly. Hiding “custom” templates which come from plugin packs would be very useful.
