[smokeping-users] Any way to 'include' another file in the config?

[Sorrell, Al]

Toby,

First off, thanks for continuing to evolve this great software! Let me explain what I'm looking for...

I have several systems which are all polling the same set of devices; one is our primary system, one is at our DR site, and one is being setup now to eventually replace our current primary. The config file for each is *almost* identical.

Specifically the *** General ** section needs to be different in order to specify the correct server in the cgiurl= section; potentially, others might have different paths for the various directories, though that's not a problem for me.

What I'd like to see would be something like an
Include /path-to-file

That way, I could have my $SMOKEPING/etc/config with statements like:
========================
*** General ***
owner=...
contact=...
imgurl=...
cgiurl=http://myserver/...

Include $SMOKEPING/etc/common_config

========================

Where $SMOKEPING/etc/common_config would have everything which isn't system-specific.

This would certainly make it much easier to keep multiple systems in sync without the need to use 'sed' prior to copying configs between systems.

Thanks for your consideration.
Al
