[op5-users] re Merlin not importing all data from objects.conf

[Michael Hobbs]

Andreas

Made the change to /usr/local/nagios/etc/addons/merlin/merlin.conf and have
done some very quick testing

Removed a host and re-added it removed and added some service from existing
hosts and Ninja picked them up

I'll do some more indepth testing this afternoon but from first look this
might be working

You shouldn't have the --cache=/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache there.
Merlin will append that for itself, along with a bunch of other options.
It's possible that the import program is bugging out because it's getting
the --cache= argument twice (though it shouldn't do that iirc).

Thanks. I appreciate it. The bugfix *shouldn't* matter for this though,
but more testing is always good.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
