config question

[Ben Goodwin]

Thanks to all who quickly answered my question RE: monitoring an NT
server; I don't know how I missed the nrpe_nt plugin unless it was
recently added to the nagios site.

In any case, I'm wondering if there's any way to specify an "except xyz"
in the nagios object files, along the lines of

define service{
        use                     generic-service

        hosts                   *,!xyz
        service_description     PING
        check_command           check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
        }

meaning define ping for all hosts *except* 'xyz'

I'm running into some wooly service definitions where I'd like to monitor,
say, SSH for every host in a hostgroup except one.  Right now it seems I
can get away with specifying

         hostgroup_name          foo,bar
         host_name               a,b,c,d,e

where a,b,c,d,e,f are part of hostgroup_name 'fud', but I can't use
"hostgroup_name foo,bar,fud" since I don't want to monitor the SSH service
on 'f' ...

Are nested hostgroup definitions possible?  That would help alleviate this
problem.

Thanks again,

  -=| Ben
