Hi all,
Here is the updated patch that I promised a while back.

There are a few differences with the previous version of this patch:

- The automatic instantiation of services is now done from a function
separate from xodtemplate_end_object_definition(), although it is
still called at that time. Having it as a separate function should
make it a bit easier to move where the auto-instantiation is done
to a more suitable location so templates could be supported.

- Support for "+". This is a new concept in nagios.
After listening to complaints from several of our people and
looking at our own config files, the addition of the "+"
functionality makes the config files a lot easier to read
since each new line _adds_ to whatever was specified before.
The support for "+" was written as a separate function that
happens to be used by "services" but it can easily be used
by other string properties.

- Cleanup, as recommended by review comments.


What does it do?

The patch adds a new directive "services" to the "host" definitions.
This new directive lists one or more "service" templates which
are used to automatically create "service" definitions for
the host.

The following sequence:

define host{
host_name bogus
address 192.168.1.254
services template-check-1, template-check-2
...
}

is exactly equivalent to the following sequence:

define host{
host_name bogus
address 192.168.1.254
...
}
define service {
host_name bogus
use template-check-1
}
define service {
host_name bogus
use template-check-2
}

Alternatively (using "+" support), you could write the above example
as follows:

define host{
host_name bogus
address 192.168.1.254
services + template-check-1
services + template-check-2
...
}

Enjoy!
