So for each host I have to add it to each service for the windows machine. I can't just create one service and add the host to that service group or I can thanks

Host groups are used for service inheritance, so the work flow is as follows:

Make a hostgroup and call it something descriptive (CentOS_6_apache_servers).

Make services that will pertain to every host in that group, and assign those services to that hostgroup.

httpd monitor -> CentOS_6_apache_servers
/ partition monitor -> CentOS_6_apache_servers
httpd log monitor -> CentOS_6_apache_servers
etc..

Now, when you assign a host to that hostgroup...

centoshost.example.com -> CentOS_6_apache_servers

That host will inherit every service that has been assigned to the hostgroup automatically. Let me know if that makes sense. Thanks!

Yes that makes sense thanks. This issue has been resolved
