Assigning contacts to hosts confusion

[Frater, Greg J]

Hi All, 

Can someone help me understand the best way to assign contacts to hosts
en masse?  In version 1.x, we would create a hostgroup put the hosts
that we needed in it and then assign a contact group to that hostgroup,
done deal.  Now it appears that under Nagios 3 to accomplish the same
thing I have to create the hostgroup as before and then go to each host
and assign a contact or contact group to it.  That's much more tedious
than the old way, am I missing something?  Please tell me there's an
easier way that I'm overlooking.

I found this in the what's new in Nagios 2 doc's
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html):

Contact group changes - The contact_groups directive has been moved from
hostgroup definitions to host definitions <xodtemplate.html> . This was
done in order to maintain consistency with the way service contacts are
specified. Make sure to update your config files! 

Thanks, 

-greg
