Service Configuration

[Tim Pushor]

Hi All,

Newb question alert.

I've used other systems in the past and am trying to wrap my head around 
configuring Nagios.

I have an array of application servers that I'd like to monitor. To 
begin with, a simple HTTP check to each will do. I have the hosts 
configured (they do nothing, I now know why), and want to configure the 
services. Now in my mind, I'd define one service (tim_http for example) 
and 'apply' it to each of the servers.

Now looking at the service configuration, there is a place in there for 
'host'. Does this mean that I have to define one service per host? So if 
I add 10 appservers I'd have 10 defined services all doing the same thing?

I must be wrong - can someone please provide a clue-by-four?

Thanks!
Tim
