Exclude / Sub set of Host / Hostgroups

[sib]

Hi

I currently use the new Nagios XI 5.2.1

- Is it possible to define a service including hostgroups but exclude single hosts? In the config file it would be

hostgroup_name somegroup
host !excludedhost

- Or how can I create subsets. I have hosts in prod and clustered. But both hostgroups have extra hosts. I want to select only the hosts that are in both the hostgroups.
- What are the hostgroups options (+,null,standard) I can not find any documentation about them.

Thanks
Chris

This is on the roadmap, but as a workaround you can use the process described here

Hi

Thanks for the workaround. Can this be used to exclude hostgroups as well?

Hostgroup_name prod,!sec

It is not possible to exclude hostgroups in the CCM - at least I am not aware of any "workarounds". The only way to accomplish this is to place your configs in the "static" directory and manage them manually.

Thanks.

That is what I have done so far.

As this has been answered, and is on the road map - do you mind if I close this thread out?
