hello David,
Not saying its the best way but I have a separate file in my objects dir called
servicegroup.cfg where I set up as follows :
define servicegroup{
servicegroup_name Legacy Checks
alias Store Legacy Checks
}
then in my services.cfg file, I have a line added as follows :
define service{
use generic-service
servicegroups Legacy Checks
I have multiple checks that I wanted to group together under a single service
group heading. This is the only (?) way I found to do it. You can add the
members ( hosts) to the servicegroup file and the checks but I found this way
to be easier.
if you create a separate file, dont forget to be sure its identified in your
nagios .cfg file.
If anyone has a better way to do this, would love to hear about it. This way
does work for my config.... your mileage may vary.....
Good Luck,
Steve

Subject: [Nagios-users] ServiceGroup Best Practices Question
I’m new to Nagios. Running Nagios 3.2.3. I want to start using Service Groups,
but I’m not sure of the best place to put the service group definitions. What
is making me question the location is eventually I will want to create a
service group that contains services hosted on both Linux and Windows machines,
so I’m thinking of creating a new config file to hold the service groups, then
in nagios.cfg use cfg_file= to load it in after the Windows and Linux machines
are loaded. Where do you create service groups?
