Gonna take a stab at this for you. Newer Nagios guy here as well. Here is a
basic start....
You use a hostgroup.cfg file to create a group
i.e
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name Remote_Hosts
alias Remote Hosts
members list names of all the windows servers here
seperated by commas
}
Now in your service.cfg or command.cfg file, where it says host_name, you
replace the entire host_name line with the following :
# host_name some windows server name
hostgroup_name Remote_Hosts
Make sure your nagios.cfg file shows the path top the hostgroup.cfg file
Verify the config & restart/reload nagios.
Now the check you do will run against the hostgroup instead of a rambling list
of hosts.
Hope this helps,
Steve

Subject: [Nagios-users] Host Groups / Definitions
Hi guys, I’m monitoring a number of Windows servers and so far I am using only
the templates provided. I would like to split my servers up using host groups
so I will have each site and then the datacentre.I’m not sure how to go about
this… although I have read the documentation I’m not understanding. Could
someone please briefly outline this? Thanks for your help! Kind Regards,
Shane
