groups of hostgroups?

[Pascal Jermini]

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to do something like a group of
hostgroups: we currently have a certain number of computers attached to an
array of servers, then we also have another batch of computers also
attached to another array of servers. Repeat this a few times and you have
our current setup.

We started with the first group of machines/servers, and we assiged
different hostgroups for the machines and for the servers. Now if we move
on and integrate the rest of our computing resources into Nagios we face a
big problem: when looking at the Services pages we have all the servers
and workstations all in one page. It would be nice to create a group for
each workstations/servers/"other services" pairs
and have like a"tab" in the services page, each tab corresponding to a
certain pair.

This also is interesting from the point of view of the system managers:
for each pair there's a sysadmin attached to it, and it's not useful to
him to know that there's a problem on a segment he doesn't administer.

Using multiple istances of Nagios is a no-go, since our current goal is to
centralize as much as possible all the monitoring...

I hope that my explanation/request are clear enough..

regards,

Pascal
