Do you have a "monolithic" service definition? (ie. all hosts specifed in host_name) If you want to do it with Nagios2, you will probably have to create a second service definition and move all database servers in this one. Nagios3 supports the use of hostgroups in service definition. This means you would be able to create a hostgroup named "database-servers" and define a common service for each hostgroup's members. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service hostgroup_name: This directive is used to specify the short name(s) of the hostgroup(s) that the service "runs" on or is associated with. Multiple hostgroups should be separated by commas. The hostgroup_name may be used instead of, or in addition to, the host_name directive. -- Mathieu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
