Sounds perfect Marc - but yet with this in the config

define service{
         use generic-service
         host_name host*,!host17
         service_description Total Processes
         check_command snmp_procs!120!150
}

I get this error

Reading configuration data...

Error: Could not find any host matching '!host17' (config file '/etc/ 
nagios3/conf.d/MM-snmp-checks.cfg', starting on line 43)
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service  
(config file '/etc/nagios3/conf.d/MM-snmp-checks.cfg', starting on  
line 43)

Any more ideas?





Kindest regards,
