There seems to be a hard-coded limit somewhere in Nagios 1.0, preventing a members definition over about 8,000 characters to execute. The error Nagios spits back is: Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg' on line 16. I won't flood you with line 16, but a snip of it would look like: members SNW-5153-9781,SNW-6934-8271,SNW-6929-8265,SNW-6928-9622,SNW-6928-8318..... (repeating for another 8,000 characters) A wildcard definition appears to load all of the members properly but unfortunately, I need to have separate hostgroups with about 700 members in each. It's hard to imagine that no one has run into this problem before considering Nagios appears to have been written to scale to this type of environment. Any ideas would be appreciated, whether it's someone pointing me to variable declarations in the source or a quick hack (perhaps you can define a hostgroup twice with the same hostgroup_name/alias?)
