Wildcard in Serviceescalations with hosts without services

[Mathieu Gagné]

Hi,

I'm using wildcards in serviceescalation.

define serviceescalation{
         host_name                       *
         service_description             *
         contact_groups                  contactgroup-blah
         notification_interval           10
         first_notification              1
         last_notification               *
         escalation_options              w,c,u,r
         }


Unfortunately, some of our sysadmins forget to associate at least one 
service to hosts. This has the consequence that service expansion is no 
more possible, generating an error and preventing Nagios from being 
(re)started. Furthermore, no clue is giving about which hosts are 
affected by this oversight, making debugging painful.

My suggestion would be to skip hosts without an associated service, 
allow Nagios to start normally and generate a warning instead.
