Thanks guys,
So for example I have the windows.cfg file.
I should define all windows servers here?
That file contains the following portion:
# Define a hostgroup for Windows machines
# All hosts that use the windows-server template will automatically be a member
of this group
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name windows-servers ; The name of the
hostgroup
alias Windows Servers ; Long name of the
group
}
Do I need to remove this?
Then, define each host group in the hostgroup.cfg file (I mean literally, a
file called hostgroup.cfg file - I know that's a stupid question but I need to
ask!).
Define the members in this file also.
Then in the windows.cfg file, under each process or service define each host
group that the check should be run against e.g.
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name Datacenter
service_description NSClient++ Version
check_command
check_nt!CLIENTVERSION
}
Correct?
Kind Regards,
Shane

Gonna take a stab at this for you. Newer Nagios guy here as well. Here is a
basic start....
You use a hostgroup.cfg file to create a group
i.e
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name Remote_Hosts
alias Remote Hosts
members list names of all the windows servers here
seperated by commas
}
Now in your service.cfg or command.cfg file, where it says host_name, you
replace the entire host_name line with the following :
# host_name some windows server name
hostgroup_name Remote_Hosts
Make sure your nagios.cfg file shows the path top the hostgroup.cfg file
Verify the config & restart/reload nagios.
Now the check you do will run against the hostgroup instead of a rambling list
of hosts.
Hope this helps,
Steve

Subject: [Nagios-users] Host Groups / Definitions
Hi guys,
I'm monitoring a number of Windows servers and so far I am using only the
templates provided.
I would like to split my servers up using host groups so I will have each site
and then the datacentre.
I'm not sure how to go about this... although I have read the documentation I'm
not understanding.
Could someone please briefly outline this?
Thanks for your help!
Kind Regards,
Shane
