One really nice function of NagMIN we've found is that you can define
service groups (based on service templates) and attach one or more to
each host.  Behind the scenes, NagMIN uses this to generate the
corresponding Nagios configuration, but from my point of view, I get
exactly what I want -- for every host, I just check off the service
groups that apply.  This works well if the host contact is the same as
the service contact for all services and the service is generic (not,
for example, a specific HTTP content check).  If this isn't true, you
need to actually define service entries manually with the appropriate
contacts.
