Remarkable. What you describe is exactly what I want, but in my case it appears to complain about the fact that my "define hostgroup" is lacking a "members" line. Also, the Nagios documentation has the "members" line coloured red in the hostgroup config section, indicating it a requirement for a HG definition. Hmmm... I'll hammer on it some more. Maybe I need a larger hammer. /me grabs a mallet. Cheers! Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
