Thanks Dan. I was aware of the hostgroups directive in the host {} block, but
for some reason my brain never connected the dots.
In that case, does anyone know when support was added for host { hostgroups =
... }, or simply whether or not it is available in version 1.4? I have googled
a bit but can't seem to find the online manual for 1.4.x.
Thanks again,
Brandon

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
