The ! is to remove servers that have been included already in the line above
in the hostgroup_name, that way I do not need to spell them all out
individually or create different groups if you have one server that doesn't
fit with everything. Basically I do not want to monitor Check CPU Load on
every server in the Nmw_Servers group, so I exclude them on the next line.
I thought this was OK to do this?
I will remove the host_name in case the ! is making things weird and my
service dependencies as well and let you know what happens.
Thanks for the help!
