windows.cfg is for all hosts and services for windows boxes that host definition can be copied and pasted for each host you add; just change the host name and address for each box take a look at the documentation for all available options; those listed below are only the base sample http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host

Importance: High Hi I am new to nagios ! I have added my first windows machine as stated below , now i want to add more machines , so do i need to add one more windows.cfg file with new host definations or simply add hostname in present file windows.cfg seperated by comma , like host_name server1,server2, This might seem a very stupid questions to many but still as i am new to this, so i need some help. Add a new host <http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host> definition for the Windows machine that you're going to monitor. If this is the *first* Windows machine you're monitoring, you can simply modify the sample host definition in windows.cfg. Change the host_name, alias, and address fields to appropriate values for the Windows box. define host{ use windows-server ; Inherit default values from a Windows server template (make sure you keep this line!) host_name winserver alias My Windows Server address 192.168.1.2 } Good. Now you can add some service definitions (to the same configuration file) in order to tell Nagios to monitor different aspects of the Windows machine. If this is the *first* Windows machine you're monitoring, you can simply modify the sample service definitions in windows.cfg.
