Re: [Nagios-devel] Suggestion: hostgroups for service

Post by Guest »

Yay!

Solves my problem with wanting a way to administer services for a large
number of hosts without having to create a service entry for each one.

And why didn't I think of nesting hostgroups!? Prat that I am.

Please tell me this feature isn't going to disappear, I'm about to do a
major reconfigure of my cfg files.

Brilliant solution.

Its an undocumented feature, but this is already supported.

define service{
hostgroup hg1,hg2,hg3
service_description PING
...
}

This would create a "PING" service on all hosts in hostgroups hg1,
hg2, and hg3.
