Hello, The documentation at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html for Service Definition says that you can use a 'servicegroups' directive to assign a service to a servicegroup instead of using the 'members' directive in the service group:
> *servicegroups*: This directive is used to identify the /short > name(s)/ of the servicegroup(s) > <http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#servicegroup> > that the service belongs to. Multiple servicegroups should be > separated by commas. This directive may be used as an alternative to > using the /members/ directive in servicegroup > <http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#servicegroup> > definitions. I would like to do this using a service template that service definitions can use to do the assignment like the configuration below. This would save me from having to add many host,service pairs to the members directive in the service group. But it doesn't seem to work (I'm using Nagios 3.2.0). I get the following configuration error: Error: Servicegroup members must be specified in <host_name>,<service_description> pairs (config file ' ... I get the same error when I delete the service template and move the servicegroups directive into the service definitions. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Paul Dubuc define servicegroup{ servicegroup_name ebusiness alias Business Services # members ; use servcicegroups in service definitions below instead. } # # Nagios service definition template used by services in this config file # define service{ name ebusiness-service register 0 ; this is a template servicegroups ebusiness ; add the service to this service group } define service{ use ebusiness-service host_name host1,host2 service_description service1 check_command ... } # # SciFinder Password Change test service # define service{ use ebusiness-service host_name host1,host2 service_description service2 check_command ... } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
