Error: Service 'Dell Hardware' on host 'myhost' has already been
defined
Error: Could not register service (config file .... newhost.cfg on
line XX)
Question: Why does "using" dell-hardware in a normal syntax
(remember, my goal is to migrate the old style in red to the new
hostgroups trick style above), is not compatible when the service
has a hostgroup_name defined? This looks to me like a bug, where
it's trying to redefine the service instead of just using it.
Thoughts?
My thought is that you need a unique "name" directive in the second
service that uses dell-hardware. Otherwise the service with the use
directive has the same name as the service it is using, causing
exactly what the error says- the service dell hardware has already
been defined, and yes, you are trying to re-define it. Basically,
when you insert the use directive, it copies everything from the
service (or whatever) you tell it to use into the new one, except
for any directives that are explicitly set in the new on. And since
you can't have two service definitions with the same name, you get
that error.

I'd be willing to accept that, however, without the host_groupname
directive for the original service, every instance of "use dell-
hardware" (75 of them) works fine without any additional name or
alias options. I'm only seeing this error once I add in
host_groupname for the original service.
