If this is a feature request, then I'd personally prefer a syntax like this
hostgroup_name london, !alpha, !tango, !chilly
Easier to read, IMO.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Excluding Hosts from group
Service Checks and 3D Status Map Dependency
Hi all,
I was wondering if there is any way I can exclude a host
from a service
check but still use the same host group that includes that
host.
For example, we would have many servers some have common
services and
some not. Now I want the hostgroup "london" to check for
ping, http,
ftp, smtp and mysql. However not all of the host group
"london" have all
of these services on them. Some may have them all though.
A typical config would then look like;
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name london
service_description SMTP
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups noc-admins
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_smtp
}
Is it possible to have an exclude_hosts directive here so
that the app
knows not to check smtp on particular servers?
E.g.
exclude_hosts_from_hostgroup
alpha,tango,chilly
I suppose I could define loads of different host groups, but
does that
not defeat the purpose?
Also I have a slight problem with the 3d status map. I read
the docs yes
but there is not that much info there (perhaps I can help
there) But I
am having problems getting it to display the dependencies.
Is this
normal issue (Yes I have defined a dependency as one group
of servers
who are dependant on a firewall being up which is in turn
dependant on a
gateway being up)
Sorry if these have been asked before but SF was not search
through the
mail list.
Thanks in advance
Yours
AJ
