Well that's mad... I literally just was about to ask the exact same question
after a month of wondering...
so where do you put this fact? Sounds like it is on the nagios "client"
side, which makes sense in terms of pulling it out, but how does it get in
there in the first place? Can you show how this file on each client is
managed? That seems to be the only bit I'm not clear on. Are you just
putting in a single word for each class? Are you at all able to manage the
class being removed from the client? Would you need to routinely purge the
file? have a initial stage class that wipes the file?
Thanks
Chris
