Adding a host to a Service Group

Post by s.dehaan »

Hi All,

I tried looking for this subject on the internet but up till now I have not been able to find an answer on this relatively simple question. Is it possible to add a host to a Service Group.

The reason for this question is that I am trying to find a good setup to manage my monitoring environment. A lot of my hosts require different checks so the other option I have right now would be to create a Host group for every host. Is this the preferred method?

If this question has already been asked, I am sorry, it turns out that my search ability fails.

Kind regards,

No you cannot.

But you don't need to create a new hostgroup for each host, you can create services that are attached to just a host, they don't have to be attached to a hostgroup.
