<title>Defining Checks</title>
<para>
This is an example of using <literal>warnings</literal>.
Checks can be defined using the <xref linkend="opt-_module.checks"/> option.
Each check needs an attribute name, under which you can define a trigger
assertion using <xref linkend="opt-_module.checks._name_.check"/> and a
message using <xref linkend="opt-_module.checks._name_.message"/>.
For the message, you can add
<literal>options</literal> to the module arguments and use
<literal>${options.path.to.option}</literal> to print a context-aware string
representation of an option path. Here is an example showing how this can be
done.

This example, extracted from the
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/release-17.09/nixos/modules/services/logging/syslogd.nix">
<literal>syslogd</literal> module </link> shows how to use
<literal>assertions</literal>. Since there can only be one active syslog
daemon at a time, an assertion is useful to prevent such a broken system
from being built.
Sometimes you can get failing checks that don't apply to your specific case
and you wish to ignore them, or at least make errors non-fatal. You can do so
for all checks defined using <xref linkend="opt-_module.checks"/> by
using the attribute name of the definition, which is conveniently printed
using <literal>[...]</literal> when the check is triggered. For above
example, the evaluation output when the checks are triggered looks as
follows:

strings tell you that these were defined under the <literal>grafanaPassword

you can adjust them to your liking:
</para>

<title>Checks in Submodules</title>
<para>
Evaluation checks can be defined within submodules in the same way. Here is an example:
</para>
<programlisting>
{ lib, ... }: {
options.myServices = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.attrsOf (lib.types.submodule ({ config, options, ... }: {
options.port = lib.mkOption {};
config._module.checks.portConflict = {
check = config.port != 80;
message = "Port ${toString config.port} defined using"
+ " ${options.port} is usually used for HTTP";
type = "warning";
};
}));
};
}
</programlisting>
<para>
When this check is triggered, it shows both the submodule path along with
the check attribute within that submodule, joined by a
<literal>/</literal>. Note also how <literal>${options.port}</literal>
correctly shows the context of the option.
</para>
<programlisting>
trace: warning: [myServices.foo/portConflict] Port 80 defined using
myServices.foo.port is usually used for HTTP
</programlisting>
<para>
Therefore to disable such a check, you can do so by changing the
<xref linkend="opt-_module.checks"/> option within the
<literal>myServices.foo</literal> submodule:
</para>
<programlisting>
{
myServices.foo._module.checks.portConflict.enable = false;
}
</programlisting>
<note>
<para>
Checks defined in submodules under <literal>types.listOf</literal> can't be
ignored, since there's no way to change previously defined list items.
