[Nagios-users] Sub-groups of hostgroups
Is it possible to do a sub-group of a hostgroup? For example, right now I have the following hostgroups: linux-servers unix-servers mac-servers network-devices I'm going to be adding windows-servers as a hostgroup, but within this group I want to further subgroup both for readability and notifications. For example, I'd like subgroups of: directory-servers exchange-servers file-servers as sub-groups of the parent windows-servers hostgroup. Is this possible? If so, anyone have a working config/example they can share? -- A.

Specify a comma- delimited list of short names of other host groups whose members should be included in this group. Hosts can also be members of multiple hostgroups by specifying them on the members line of the hostgroup definitions or comma separated in the hostgroups parameter of the host definition. -- Marc -- ___ 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

As far as I know, hostgroups are all at the same level, but hosts can be
members of more than one hostgroup. I set my host definitions up like this:
define host {
use prod_windows_server
host_name servername
alias serveralias
address w.x.y.z
hostgroups +FTP Servers,Web Servers
}
My prod_windows_server host template sets a hostgroup of
windows_servers. In the host definition here, the + adds the additional
host groups to the host. Without the +, the host definition's hostgroup
setting would replace windows_servers.
Then, in my services.cfg, I assign services to hostgroups:
define service {
use standard_service
nameWeb_Service
hostgroup_name Web Servers
service_description Service: Web
check_command check_nt_service!W3SVC
}
You don't have to assign services to a hostgroup, but it's convenient
for me to do so.
