Override a threshold for one host in a template

[Kevin Keane]

I had a somewhat similar problem (all of my servers use the same 30 or 
so services, except one of them doesn't have remote access, so it only 
needs 29). Here is what I did. It sounds like you did about the same:

- create a hostgroup
- create 30 services
- in each service, specify the corresponding hostgroup_name that it 
should go into.
- make all 30 hosts part of that hostgroup

Now to deal with this one server, let's call it problem.server.com for 
service DIFFICULTSERVICE:

In the declaration for DIFFICULTSERVICE, exclude problem.server.com:

hostname !problem.server.com

Declare another service DIFFICULTSERVICE just for problem.server.com 
with the correct parameters.
