Imagine a different more advanced example: You are monitoring your network device (host)

with many interfaces (services). The following requirements/problems apply:
|
||||
|
||||
* Each interface service check should be named with a prefix and a running number
|
||||
* Each interface service check should be named with a prefix and a name defined in your host object (which could be generated from your CMDB, etc)
|
||||
* Each interface has its own vlan tag
|
||||
* Some interfaces have QoS enabled
|
||||
* Additional attributes such as `display_name` or `notes, `notes_url` and `action_url` must be
|
||||
dynamically generated
