Creating Service groups with host groups

[dworthcsl]

Hi,

I opened Topic on the Nagios XI page regarding Creating Service Groups. https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 16&t=36038 I wanted to see if I can add a feature. I went to github and it seemed to point me back to here. Let me know if this is not the right place for feature comments.

I currently have the situation where we have 75+ production, QA, .. application servers that have host checks as well as Weblogic Checks. It is common to have large maintenance windows where the application is shutdown for hours or more. When that happens, the checks start alerting. The only way around is to put all services for that group into maintenance mode. That means we loose the health of the servers, which we need.

A great feature to add to Core is a way to create a service group that will allow me to included services that are assigned to a host group. Currently the only way to create a service group is to use a service directly assigned to a host or another service group. Because most of my checks are added to host groups, which then gets inherited to servers that are assigned to those host groups, I do not see them at all with in service group creation.

I was hoping that service groups would fit this purpose, but they do not seem to work for our configuration. Please let me know if this is something possible for a future release or if there are further questions.

Thanks,
David

Not sure where it said to post back here - we definitely allow Core issues/bugs/features to be filed on our Github page. @lmiltchev gave the following reply in your last thread:

https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 38#p163587

and links directly to the proper page for filing an issue:

https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/na ... issues/new

As I mentioned in the last thread, this could be added as a feature request but I do not believe this is possible currently. If you would like, I can make the request for you on Github.

I see your post on GitHub @ https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/na ... /issues/98

As it has been filed there, do you mind if I close this thread out?

[dworthcsl]

Yes you can close this out. Sorry for the delay and thanks for your help.
