Not sure about in the old version, but what we do is not put the membership info in the hostgroup definition, but give the host definition a list of hostgroups it belongs to which is a much shorter list.

If it ain't broke don't fix it, right? Anyway, one minor problem is the fact that in the nagios configuration, the members directive for a hostgroup can only support a certain number of entries, due to the fact that the members directive takes a comma delimited list of members and that list, it seems, can only be a maximum of 2000ish (I think, I don't recall off hand) characters. Like: hostgroup { ... members = Member1,Member2,Member3,...,Member200, Member201, Member202 } My question is, do newer version of nagios remove this limitation? It isn't really a huge deal since we can simply create additional hostgroups when we reach the limit on one, however if this is fixed in a newer version then that, for us, would be a good reason to upgrade.
