If I were in Nagios Core, I'd just write But I'm in Nagios XI.

How can I put a service onto a list of hostgroups, but then exclude it from running on another set of hostgroups?

Hmm I see what you mean, lacking negate or the ability to modify hostgroup names. I suppose I would try creating a service template to apply, that resides in the static directory. Specifically I would have this template only negate hostgroups, so that it can be assigned without worrying about further complications. I realize this isn't ideal, so I put in a feature request to allow negating of host\service groups within CCM.

That was my current workaround, but I wanted to know if I was missing anything.

Yeah, unfortunately that is the only real way to do this right now. We've had questions about it in the past and have an internal feature request in the works.

I can't wait for the day I ask a question that ends in someone telling me that I should RTFM. All my questions are answered with "yah, we'll be doing that someday."

Most of em' , I'll be looking for one Eric, then I'll let you know .
