Hi Jelle,

One way to do this is use the custom host and service variables that
Nagios 3.x provides in it's configuration DSL.  We use this
extensively.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/customobjectvars.html

If you use custom host variables in your service definitions, you can
then define thresholds for services at the host level, which means you
can use inheritance to have a common base set of thresholds but then
override those as needed.

SHort example:

define command {
    command_name my_check_command
    command_line /path/to/command -w $_HOST_MY_CHECK_WARN$ -c
$_HOST_MY_CHECK_CRIT$
}

define service {
    service_description My Service
    check_command my_check_command
    hostgroup_name my_group
}

define host {
     name      my_template
     hostgroups +my_group
     __my_check_warn foo,gt,90
     __my_check_crit   foo,gt,98
    register 0
}

define host {
    use my_template
    host_name my_host
    alias My Host
    ;  Override the critical threshold
   __my_check_crit foo,gt,60
}
