Wildcard Hostgroups

[optionstechnology]

Is it possible to create hostgroups using wildcards?

I remember I used to be able to do it in core...

Are you looking to add * Hosts to a host group? You can do so from the Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Host Groups -> Add New -> Manage Hosts -> Add the '*'.

If not, could you please elaborate?

I want to create hostgroups where newly added hosts automatically get assigned to the correct hostgroup based on their name

So customer server 'xyzapp01' gets added to the 'xyz' hostgroup without me having to do it manually

If you are thinking you can define a host group with members like:

Code: Select all

define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name                          test
        alias                                   test
        members                                 test*
        }
