This patch adds a global parameter named
conflict_policy
to control the shinken behavior when there's name conflict between objects.When more than one object are created with the same name and no definition order has been specified, the default behavior is to raise a warning message and keep the last definition.
When enabling strict conflict naming policy by setting the global parameter
conflict_policy
tostrict
, this results in an error that prevents the configuration from being loaded.This is typically used to enforce more precise objects definition, and avoid silent collisions lading to unexpected behavior.
