Yes, it's listed as a 'template trick' -- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/templatetricks.html#service "All Hosts: If you want to create identical services that are assigned to all hosts that are defined in your configuration files, you can use a wildcard in the host_name directive as follows: define service{ host_name * service_description SOMESERVICE other service directives ... } The definition above would create a service called SOMESERVICE on all hosts that are defined in your configuration files. All the instances of the SOMESERVICE service would be identical (i.e. have the same check command, max check attempts, notification period, etc.)." -- Marc p.s. While it may sometimes seem like it, I'm not dedicated to nagios support. Sending to the list instead of directly to me is preferable. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
