I have the same issue, where I have a large main group, say mysql-servers, and some run ntpd while others run xntpd. I have had to set up different groups which I name accordingly -- mysql-servers-ntp and mysql-servers-xntpd. In the case of one group of servers, I have 7 different 'custom' groups to take into account different computers.
This is extremely cumbersome, as nearly every group has exceptions. :-) If anyone has a better more elegent method of dealing with this, than please please speak up.

I have nagios2 installed on a debian testing system, and it's monitoring a hostgroup for each cabinet I monitor (currently have only one cabinet of 42 U's setup). I have three service checks set up for this group (cabinet1) which are http, ftp, and disk space. The problem comes up with a few machines (3) that do not have ftp set up, so nagios is constantly returning a critical error. I need to make exceptions in this group for those systems.. and when I start adding things like mysql checks, and custom plugins, I need to make some systems that don't have mysql and such things on them. Is this possible? --Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
