We routinely use templates which assign a hostgroup to a host, and that hostgroup will have a set of standard check for that type of host assigned to it. When a new host gets added, all it takes is a "use some_host_template" and all the standard services we run on that type of host just show up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
