conditional inclusion of cfg files

[Jonathan Mills]

Okay, let's say you have lots of distributed pollers, which should  
only load cfg files for their particular environment (both hosts and  
services).  However, you'd like to manage the same set of "global" cfg  
files from the central server, and rsync them all everywhere.  Is  
there any known way to make a poller just load a subset of cfg files,  
*without hardcoding it into each poller's nagios.cfg file*?

Sorry if this sounds a little crazy.  I guess what I had envisioned  
was a way to push out a set of cfg files named by each poller's  
hostname, with the expectation that a poller could intelligently  
include only its own cfg file.  Each of those files, in turn, would  
include a set of cfg_dir definitions to further include the  
directories needed for the poller to poll its specific environment.

Nagios just appears to be very limited in the ability to declare  
variables in the configuration files.  Yes, you can set macros, but  
that doesn't seem to help me with this particular situation.

Any suggestions?
