Can you clarify your last statement please ? As far as I see assigning service contacts to hostgroups cannot be done in the current implementation.
Templates won't help. Are you saying we can do this after all ?

It's about the logic...

The hostgroup and contact cannot be directly coupled.

Code: Select all

hostgroup <-!-> contact
In my example though because we're building from templates

Code: Select all

host <---> host_template
               |
		     hostgroup <---> service_template <---> service1
		                            |            -> service2
						            contactgroup     -> service3
It is an admittedly inderict, but because of the service_template the hostgroup and contactgroup are tied together. The simple defining of hosts and services is just a side-benefit.
