Expand service group error in 43 line test config (why?)

[Paul M. Dubuc]

First, your service has no service_description specified.  This is required.

Second, your serviceescalation must include the host_name that the service is 
assigned to.  Add the line:

host_name 	admin.qa

and it will work.  You can also use a hostgroup_name instead of a host_name, 
but every host you specify must have a service with a service_description that 
matches that specified in the escalation.

See the documentation for details:

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
