I setup configurations in subdirectories by datacenter (location of the distributed poller) then have a local 'sed' check change the location of the configuration relevant to that specific box. These directories are also broken out individually ... $NAGIOS_HOME/etc/corporate/$ASSET_GROUP/{hosts,groups,contact}.cfg $NAGIOS_HOME/etc/datacenter/$CITY_STATE/{hosts,groups,contact}.cfg $NAGIOS_HOME/etc/thirdparty/$VENDOR/{hosts,groups,contact}.cfg All my pollers check a common pool ("corporate", "thirdparty") and have local checks for their own site ("datacenter".) $CITY_STATE could also be the name of your host, that makes 'sed' a little easier. Use 'cfg_dir=' You could use 'cfengine', I use 'sed', but just comment out all datacenters on your console and uncomment the one necessary for a particular datacenter. If you won't want to use 'sed' or 'cfengine' then just uncomment it by hand.
