Both hostgroup_name and host_name in services.cfg

[Andrew Davis]

Well, yes and no. The checks of the config files didn't show any errors, 
but that doesn't mean the developers accounted for the situation and 
that I won't see any anomalies as a result. I was hoping that another 
user might've had some experience with it... something like "hey I tried 
this and it broke that" or "no problems here, go for it". That's what 
lists like this are for. I already RTFM'd and its not mentioned. Hence 
why I asked the list. And as for it being faster to try than to wait... 
not sure about you, but my Nagios server is considered a production 
system. Thus, for me it pays to wait for a response and play it safe 
than to rush ahead and potentially break something... few people in IT 
ever muck things up by waiting for good input, but quite a few have 
screwed stuff up by jumping ahead without enough information.

FWIW: I have gone ahead and tried it and it does appear to work, though 
I'll have to wait to see if any issues result.

Thanks for taking the time to write an answer that didn't provide any 
input on the actual question I posed.
