Hello Nagios support, thanks in advance,
can you have a group that contains other groups?
if so, can you please share an example?
thanks again!

The Nagios documentation tells you how to do this.
Here's an example:
Code: Select all
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name group1
alias Group 1 hosts
members Work Gateway
}
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name group2
alias Group 2 hosts
members Work Router
hostgroup_members group1
}
Group 1 will contain "Work Gateway" and group 2 will contain "Work Gateway" and "Work Router" since it inherits group 1.

No problem. This is a quick ad for Nagios XI, since it handle all that inheritance and inclusion stuff for you if you go through the GUI for configuring things.

May we mark this as resolved?
