The first apology if I have not explained very well. I do not speak English at all well , sorry,
Ok thanks, I understand , but I have a problem.
I understand that if I want to see a service, we will add that I have to contact the service group and the service I do not want to see , do not add the group. So far so good , the problem is that the definition of host , I say that host group want to belong and I have you to say that contact group want , here's the problem , I put my contact group and me aLL inherits permissions services and eventually see all services. Not to do , because if the definition of host not add contact group in Nagios frontend , I do not see that group of host
How do I see the host group and me not inherit all permissions to all its services ?
Not if I have explained well and you have understood me .. thank you very much

I think I understand better. Take a look at the Implied Inheritance rules:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... nheritance
Basically, if you assign a contact_group to a host, and there is no contact or contact_group entry on a service that is attached to that host, then the attached service will inherit the contact_group from the host. Does that make sense? So in this case you will need to define a contact_group on the service that includes only the contacts you want to view them, and use a separate contact_group for the host.

Hi.
I tried what you tell me tmcdonald and it does not work .
If I create a new contact group and assign this group to a service and the other contact group to host, continuous watching all the services of this host and I just want to see some , if I delete the contact group of the host , I keep seeing in the nagios frontend that host and the host group belonging , forcing me to take the definition of host a contact or contact group. I can not find the solution
Anyway, thanks for the help

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you are saying. I am certain this is a language barrier issue, and I want to help out. Can you post the actual configurations you are using?

If you assign the contactgroups to the host they automatically can see ALL services attached to the host.
So in order for you to have contactgroup2 to only see HOST1 - SERVICE1 and HOST2 - SERVICE4 would be to REMOVE contactgroup2 from HOST1 and HOST2 and add/keep contactgroup2 on SERVICE1 and SERVICE4 (at the service level):
- Note: They will not be able to see the status of the host then, there is no way around this, that's the way Nagios permissions are.

That is the solution .had already proven but not seen as the host , I thought I was doing things wrong , but if so are nagios permits , it will configure as well .
