Nagios...::File(3pm)

💖 Nagios::Config::File 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Nagios...::File(3pm) — which is actually just Nagios::Config::File, the base class for every Nagios config file out there. she's the momager of the config world, and honestly? iconic. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Nagios::Config::File — the base class for Nagios configuration files. that's it, that's the whole identity. lowkey powerful. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, fr fr:

use Nagios::Config ;
my $nc = new Nagios::Config("/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg") ;
my $resource = $nc->get_resource_cfg() ;
print $resource->get_attr('$USER1$') . "\n" ;

like… look at her go. she's fetching a resource config and printing out $USER1$. we love a working example. 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Nagios::Config::File is the base class for all Nagios configuration files. that's the whole family tree. she's the blueprint, the main character energy from which everything else spawns. 👑

bestie listen. you should NOT need to create these yourself. seriously. put the constructor down. this is a base class, not a DIY project. the subclasses handle it, iykyk. 🙈

---

🧚 CONSTRUCTOR 🧚

• new ([FILE]) — creates a Nagios::Config::File. that's the whole job description. give her a FILE, get an object. slay. ✨

---

🍓 METHODS 🍓

• get ([NAME], [SPLIT]) — returns the value of the attribute NAME for the current file. and if SPLIT is true? she returns a list of all the values split on /\s*,\s*/. literally so useful when an attribute can have more than one value — you get the whole squad instead of just one bestie. 💖
• filename() — returns the filename for the current object. yes she knows where she lives. 🏠
• dump () — returns a scalar with the full configuration text, ready to parse again. it's giving "save file, reload, we go again". 🔥
