Hello, you can group the service using the existing "group" statement, such as this:
--8<-- check host my1 with address 1.2.3.4 if failed ... group database check host my2 with address 1.2.3.5 if failed ... group database --8<-- You can then use the group to trigger some action on all services, which are member of that group. The service can be member of multiple groups by adding one option for each group. The groups however cannot be used to share the configuration. For such purpose it'll be probably best to use some configuration template and generate the configuration dynamically.
