A service is always uniquely identified by both the host name and the service description. If you keep that in mind, hopefully it will make a little more sense. If you really want to specify your services in your host definitions ... You can create a hostgroup which is going to contain all hosts with the service you want to add. You can create a service associated with that hostgroup (rather than a single host). You could also create a host template which just sets the hostgroup and nothing else. You can then add the service to a host by simply applying that host template to the host. If you call the template something appropriate like "hostgroup-service-ftp" it should become quite intuitive. You can read up on how to apply mutiple templates to an object at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
