Well, I have (and I need) an ABC-server template because I inherits other
values related to all the machines in the ABC-server hostgroup (such as
notes_url which points to a troubleshooting Wiki page related to ABC
project)

So now I do like this : I have a windows-server template, an ABC-server
template, and when I define a new host, I use both templates and I redefine
in the host the hostgroups value :

define host{
use windows-server,ABC-server
hostgroups +ABC-server
...
}

which means : use the hostgroups from windows-server template, ignore the
hostgroups from ABC-server template, add to the inherited hostgroups
"ABC-server"

So I have to add the ABC-server hostgroup ownership to each host belonging
to this hostgroup.


The second option:

This option is not good for me because ABC-server hostgroup may have
linux-server :

define host {
use windows-server,ABC-server
...
}

and

define host {
use linux-server,ABC-server
...
}

(and each hostgroup has a different set of services checked)


Thanks
