The reason being is that I’m generating the host configs using a third-party tool, and it puts in that host file which hostgroups a host belong to. This works great, but there has to be at least 1 member in the hostgroup for it not to complain. It would be nice if I could just put the hostgroups out there blank and then let the host definition completely populate what’s in there. Right now I have 1 fake host that is in every group, so I have one host with hundreds of service checks that will fail , just rather messy. Does that sound reasonable, another way to do this I’ve missed? Thanks! Dan </BODY> </HTML>
