Issue #4240 has been updated by Jason Antman.

I say close this. 

The Nagios docs 
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/objectdefinitions.html#hostgroup)
 specify that the "hostgroup" type has 5 attributes other than name and list of 
members:
* alias
* hostgroup_members (other hostgroups that are members)
* notes (note_string)
* notes_url
* action_url

If the type is removed, it will be impossible to set these other attributes.

What Brian seems to want is the sort of automatic requires logic that's present 
in files and their owning user/group, where if a hostgroup is specified in a 
nagios_host resource, it will be automatically created if it doesn't exist. I'm 
pretty sure that would require much deeper understanding of the relationships 
between resources than naginator currently has, but either way, it would *not* 
call for the removal of nagios_hostgroup.

Feature #4240: nagios_hostgroups should be removed

----------------------------------------
The nagios_hostgroups type is redundant.  Hostgroups are declared as elements 
of nagios_hosts.  It should be easy enough to generate the hostgroups by 
scanning through the hosts and collecting all the unique entries.
