Hi,

I define services in two files:
* some services are in a file with the host definition
* some services are in a "services_for_all_hosts.cfg" with a line like: I would like to add a contact to all the services of a given host, but if I add this contact in the definition of the host, the services defined in "services_for_all_hosts.cfg" are not linked with the contact, only with the contacts listed in the template used for their definition.

How could I make this contact added to the services defined in "services_for_all_hosts.cfg", but only for a given host?

EDIT: I should add that all the contacts are handled with contact_groups objects in templates, and I'm trying to add the contact with a contacts field

SOLVED: a contact_group field was lying around in a service template, so the contacts and contact_groups fiels were overwritten with the value in the template, and the services did not get the contacts field in the host definition.

Glad you got it worked out and thanks for sharing the solution.

We'll mark this was resolved.

Thank you for using the Nagios Community Forum!
