[Nagios-users] Create services dynamically for a specific host

2011-03-16 Thread Anand, Sakshi
Hi, I have some 150 services that I wish to monitor using passive checks to Nagios. Is it possible for Nagios to dynamically display these services as it received the check without specifying the exact service name in the configuration? Please suggest if there is any way out to get this done.

Is it possible for Nagios to dynamically display these services as it received the check without specifying the exact service name in the configuration? What is your requirement for their display in Nagios? Should the service appear under a specific host for example, or how do you desire to have
