Cannot add remote-linux server to my setup to be monitored

[Bram Gillemon - Openminds]

You've got to tell your service what hosts/hostgroups it has to check.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service

You can do this by adding one of this to the service you would like to 
monitor:

hostgroup_name compute-nodes
host_name star01
