how to have host-defined services override hostgroup-defined services?

[Peter Grace]

Hi list,

I saw a patch a few months ago that was supposed to allow hostgroup-defined
services to be overriden by host-defined services.  In my case, I have a sql
server that I don't want to follow my generic memory check, but instead want
to tweak its arguments a bit.  I have shown below both service definitions,
one utilizing hostgroup and the other utilizing host.  When I tried to use
this, the parser reported an error for duplicate object however I was under
the impression the patch (referenced here:
http://markmail.org/download.xqy?id=ms6rzljthml7ejlt&number=1 from
nagios-devel) would make this setup work.  NOTE, the patch was not accepted
as it was provided here, however there is very similar functionality as of
3.2.0 in xodtemplate.c.

Any hints on how to make the host-service override the hostgroup-service
would be much appreciated.  I was shown by a user on #nagios of freenode
that I could simply ! the hostname in question in the hostgroup-defined
service, however with how my config files are setup it would not be
intuitive for anyone coming after me.

Hostgroup-defined service:

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        hostgroups              windows-servers-dom1
        service_description     mem at dom1
        name                    mem at dom1
        check_command           check_wsc_dom1!memory!10%,5%,10%,5%
}

host-defined service:

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host                    nin-tgisqlcl-01
        service_description     mem at dom1
        name                    mem at dom1
        check_command           check_wsc_dom1!memory!3%,2%,3%,2%
}


Thanks in advance,
Pete
