The correct parameter for defining a host's hostgroups is hostgroups, not hostgroup. Try: define host { ... hostgroups !ping-servers } (Note the pural form, rather than singular) Brandon Phelps Global Linking Solutions O: (704) 973-6855 C: (704) 222-2103 E: bphe...@gls.com On

Hi Tim, if you want to exclude this host from the ping-servers hostgroup, you should really exclude it from the hostgroup itself, i.e.: define hostgroup{ hostgroup_name ping-servers alias Pingable hosts members
