Re: [Nagios-users] compact definition of multiple hosts or service groups?

[davor g. <dgr...@gm...>]

Hi  Justin

for  that you  can  use  different  approach:

I  do  for  each  host a  different cfg file,   and  they  are  stored
into  different directories defined in main configuration, on  this  way
is  adding or  removing  hosts easy  as  in  this  case  u  can  use
templates...

hope  this  help
