[chef] Re: override

[James Wilford < >]

You can use a service template to override the defaults for a specific 
service:

{
  "id": "windows_load",
  "hostgroup_name": "windows",
  "command_line": "$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v
CPULOAD -l 5,80,90",
  "servicegroups": "windows",
  "service_template": "it_contacts"
}

In data bag nagios_templates/it_contacts.json :

{
  "id": "it_contacts",
  "contact_groups": "it"
}

Cheers

James
