Best way to organzie data...

How do you tie a service to a host group?  Are you implying you make one
service check and apply it to an entire host group instead of
individually?  

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

I recommend making hostgroups based on services common among all hosts.
For example, all your webservers could be in a www group and then you
could create a www service and tie it to the www hostgroup.

One neat trick that really helped me was to use register 0 in the
hostgroup definition.  That way, I can have hosts in multiple hostgroups
without double-counting.  You could create one-to-one top level groups
based on your datacenter locations.

Hope that helps.
