Looks ok to me - my test was define hostgroup{ hostgroup_name ALL-SERVERS ; The name of the hostgroup alias ALL-SERVERS ; The name of the hostgroup hostgroup_members .* }
That parses ok but I end up with nothing in the group when I look at the nagios display. If I use individual members it works and they appear in the nagios display. Looks like it doesn't work at any rate. I just upgrade to the latest version as I was having issues with wildcards but I think that was more down to my understanding. I've been trying to use them for escalations. I think I finally got there (I think - time will tell) but I had to add a lot of service groups to make it work the way I wanted.

Here are the config snippets to illustrate the mystery: define hostgroup { hostgroup_name ecomUs alias ecom servers - US members .* } - This works. We get an ecomUs hostgroup with all our hosts. define hostgroup { hostgroup_name ecomUs alias ecom servers - US hostgroup_members .* } - This doesn't work. We get this error after running a config verification: "Error: Could not find member group '.*' specified in hostgroup (config file '/etc/nagios/conf.d/tier12/env-specific/vdev/hostgroup.d/ecomUs.cfg', starting on line 7)."

Perhaps you could post the config file (or snip of) that's causing the issue.

We have the appropriate config options to use regex, and it works just fine for the members directive - ie. "members .*" expands just as we'd expect. But "hostgroup_members .*" returns an error along the lines of "Could not find member group '.*' specified in hostgroup....", leading us to believe that Nagios is simply ignoring regex matching for the hostgroup_members directive. Anyone know if we're off our rockers, or if Nagios really does handle things this way?
