Question on setting up a specialized status.cgi page

[steve f]

I stumbled upon the answer to my issue for a custom status page.

What I was doing wrong was I created in the servicegroups.cfg file with a line called members

members                                  HOSTNAME1,check_1, check_2, check_3,check_4,check_5,HOSTNAME2, SAME 5 CHECKS AS HOST #1,HOSTNAME3,SAME....

This method did not work.  I wound up removing the members line from the servicegroups.cfg file, just leaving the service group name & the alias in the file and added the service group name to each define service for the 5  legacy_checks  as follows :

define service{
       use                             generic-service
       servicegroups                  Legacy Checks
       hostgroup_name                  APP_servers
       contact_groups                   admins,legacy
       notification_options            w,c
         active_checks_enabled           0
       service_description             Legacy CPU Load
       check_command                   check_legacy_cpu
}

This allowed me to get the service group for all different legacy checks I wanted.  Then If I run the following url 

http://NAGIOS_SERVER/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?servicegroup=Legacy+Checks&servicestatustypes=16

I get the list of all legacy checks for all hosts and the critical ones only.

Hopefully someone else can benefit from this info.

Regards,

Steve

Thanks for your reply Jim,

I tried to set up the servicegroup as follows :

define servicegroup {
servicegroup_name               Legacy_Checks
alias                                    Legacy Checks
members                                  HOSTNAME1,check_1, check_2, check_3,check_4,check_5,HOSTNAME2, SAME 5 CHECKS AS HOST #1,HOSTNAME3,SAME....
}

I assume that the service group will only work with a single check for multiple hosts as if I removed all of the checks but 1, it will work.  This however will not work for what I am trying to do.

Thanks,

Steve
