Host Groups / Definitions

[Assaf Flatto]

Shane

In the definitions of each host ( or template ) you have an option of 
defining the "hostgroup" this will group several host in to a group and 
will display them as a logical group . A host can be part of many host 
groups - there is not restriction on a host belonging to one hostgroup.

To give an example , let say we have a host group "Dublin" that we want 
to hold the hosts " city " , "airport" and "dock" , and a hostgroup 
"Cork" to hold hosts "jazz" , "quay" and "south" .

Once you defined that , you can manage the nagios to allocate services 
to a hostgroup Cork - and those services will be checked on that host group.


Does that help clarify it a bit more ?
