hosts be sent to a specific contact group.
Using host groups, we are able to send notifications of host problems to a

problems for servers in Group A to go to the group A manager, host and

Thanks Chris. The problem with that is that I need to list all hosts in

I would like to have a master host file that lists all checks that are

example, I may have a check_pgsql in the master host file, but host_x
which inherits from the master file doesn't
