Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, object names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "This service group consists of the mysql and pgsql services on the linuxbox01 host."

A block of code is set as follows:

define service{
  host_name                      linuxbox01
  service_description            mysql
  check_command                  check_ssh
  servicegroups                  databaseservices
  }

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

define service{ host_name linuxbox01 service_description ...
