Hostgroup definition

[Jay R. Ashworth]

I know that lots of the documentation about how to configure Nagios's
cfg files is in transition from 2.x (where you mostly did it one way)
to 3.0 (where you mostly do it another way), but there's a point I'm
not clear on.

It seems to me that it would be much easier to maintain if member
machines were placed in hostgroups *in each member machine's cfg file*
(cause yes, I'm using a separate file for each machine).

This doesn't seem to be the way Nagios expects me to do it, and I don't
see that there's a way to do it this way; you appear to have to define
the hostgroup in some amorphous 'somewhere', and then add all the hosts
to it *there* (which means that there are two places you have to change
when you add a new host, which I'm not fond of).

Have any of the DBMS config builder front-ends been updated to 3.0 yet?

Cheers,
