Fix documentation on global custom variables#10826
Merged

Conversation
Global custom variables were moved from the global `Vars` constant to the `vars` attribute of the `IcingaApplication` object in v2.4 (84536da), however the documentation wasn't updated accordingly. This commit updates the documentation accordingly. The `vars` attribute of `IcingaApplication` is already documented in `09-object-types.md`, so no addition for this is needed. There is still a reference in `24-appendix.md` that I left unchanged because it is related to the IDO, which is deprecated and scheduled for removal in v2.18, so I didn't bother checking what the IDO actually does in respect to global custom variables.

By the way, if anyone wonder how on earth I came across that topic: while writing this blog post for icinga.com, I initially thought I would want to make use of these global custom variables, but later noticed that I can also achieve the same without using them. |
