I can not figure out how to create a service for all hosts that are in 2 given hostgroups.

Example hostgroups:

oracle: hostA, hostB
prod: hostB, hostC

Now I need a service for all hosts that are in both groups. In that case only for hostB

I tried to create a service like that. But this will include all prod servers

Code: Select all

define service {
        service_description             Oracle Filesystems
        use                             Oracle_PROD_Service
        hostgroup_name                  oracle,prod
        check_interval                  3
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_fs!pkgname:oracle:95:99!!!!!!!
        register                        1
}

The easiest way to achieve this is to add this service to all desired hosts under the CCM.

CCM->Services-><your service>->Edit->Manage Hosts->...->Add Selected->Close->Save->Apply Configuration

In Nagios Core, you can use exclusions to exclude hosts or hostgroups by preceding the host/hostgroup by a "!" symbol. See our documentation on the topic here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... ricks.html

You cannot use exclusions in Nagios XI if you want to manage your objects under the CCM. You can however maintain your objects manually if you placed them in the "static" directory.
The document below explains how to do this:

Hope this helps.

Thanks. This config has worked for me

Code: Select all

define service {
        service_description             Oracle Filesystems
        use                             Oracle_PROD_Service
        hostgroup_name                  oracle,!devua
        check_interval                  3
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_fs!pkgname:oracle:95:99!!!!!!!
        register                        1
}

define service {
        service_description             Oracle Filesystems
        use                             Oracle_DEV_Service
        hostgroup_name                  oracle,!prod
        check_interval                  3
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_fs!pkgname:oracle:95:101!!!!!!!
        register                        1
}
