I checked the object defintion documentation before replying and didn't
find any such reference that you could exclude hosts out of host or service
group definitions by using a 'bang' symbol. I thought a bang (!) was used
only to separate arguments in check_commands.
Even if this feature is legitimate, why make the configuration more
complex? Get rid of the host groups in the service definitions and include
only those hosts you want checked. Basically, make the configuration as
simple as possible to find and fix the problem with the host that has a
service check stuck in pending. Then add back in the more complex
configuration options (like service dependencies) one at a time.
My $.02.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_ping stuck
on 'PENDING'
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!
