Nagios Support Forum

I have made 3 .cfg files, windows-svrs.cfg, windows-wks.cfg & cctvvm.cfg. windows-svrs has a hostgroup with a few servers in it, windows-wks has a few workstations in a hostgroup & cctvvm has just one host. svrs & wks use the same services, but cctvvm only uses one (PING). However, on the nagios site it shows that cctvvm is monitoring all the services that are listed in the other files? Why and how can I change/seperate these? Thanks.

Have you restarted the nagios service after making mods to your configs? Can you show us the "cctvvm.cfg" and a screenshot of what you see in the GUI?

I'm a little confused here. You said that cctvvm has only ping, but I see a check_nt applied to it. Are you sure you are referencing the proper files?

It might help to see your whole config directory. Can you tar and gzip your .../nagios/etc directory and send it in a PM?
