Nagios Support Forum

I have 20 routers and 20 switches which I am going to monitor with nagios .
the question is that do I have to create service for every node or creating one service and referring all of the nodes to it will work.
for instance for ping service . should it be one entry-per node ?

What you could do, is create a set of services and apply them to every host that they would work properly with. This should be fine:

yes In the created service we need to add the hostgroup we need to use the service.
