Actually, that's what the hostgroup_members directive is for. What's in question is the regex matching of '!basic_svc' to exclude it and whether that _should_work. I can find no specific example in the documentation that indicates it should and am not in a position to test it. My feeling is that it isn't supported there but I could be wrong. If the OP gets no other bites, asking on nagios-devel might be more useful in either case. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
