hi, at your example: does it work if you put an group into an group definition (mon intern, not m4 macro) ???
the thing with the valid DNS record ... ok, we can use a seperator such ":" or any other... that shouldn't be the problem. btw: that would be very complex if you put groups in another groups ;) if you do: hostgroup group1 group2 192.11.11.11 hostgroup group2 192.11.11.11 and you do: watch group1 service ping .... the host 192.11.11.11 is 2x in the group ... that can be a real problem if you monitor > 100 hosts, with a large group structur but that can be solved with an kind of "virtual entry" or link just ideas :) greetz frank ps: sorry for my english ;) Norland, Martin schrieb: >I don't think we want anything that might resemble or be a valid DNS >record (or IP address), do we?
