Hello,

I created a service group, with some services in it. After that, I created a new servicetemplate which is defining only the even_handler, and I added the previously created servicegroup in it..

Unfortunately the services in the servicegroup are not using the event_handler defined in the service template.
If I manually add the servicetemplate on a specific service, everything works correctly..

Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Services will not use a template if you do not explicitly tell them to. A common misconception is that you can apply a service template to a service group. What you are actually doing is saying "Any services that use this template should also be added to this service group".

ok understood, there is an easy way to assign a template to x services, rather than having to go inside each single service?

If you have the Enterprise Edition features (or have started the free 60-day trial) you can go to Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Bulk Modification Tool and make changes en-masse there.
