I had a somewhat similar problem (all of my servers use the same 30 or so services, except one of them doesn't have remote access, so it only needs 29). Here is what I did. It sounds like you did about the same:
- create a hostgroup - create 30 services - in each service, specify the corresponding hostgroup_name that it should go into. - make all 30 hosts part of that hostgroup Now to deal with this one server, let's call it problem.server.com for service DIFFICULTSERVICE: In the declaration for DIFFICULTSERVICE, exclude problem.server.com: hostname !problem.server.com Declare another service DIFFICULTSERVICE just for problem.server.com with the correct parameters.
