Best way to organzie data...

It depends on your organization. We're a wireless ISP, so we group based on POP, based on inter-POP connects, what's a client radio, what's client equipment, and in some cases, multiple clients in the same building. You can add a host to multiple groups, and only set notifications for one of those groups.
IMO, it's easier to see all the services hanging from the same host than to see multiple hosts that are really the same host, just different services. In a company where there's a person who deals with *only* web sites and a person who deals with *only* ssh issues, however, I can see where you wouldn't want the Web guy getting a page if SSH on his box went down. But that's not where I work :)
Either way, when you go to set downtime on a few hosts, it's a LOT easier to do if all the services are attached to the same host.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Best way to organzie data...
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to logically group "things" in
nagios? We have 2 datacenters with several racks at each data center.
Each rack has several chassis' that contain about 24 blade-servers each.
Should I group my data based on datacenter (as hostgroups) and within
those put the racks, and then the blades? Should I create hostgroups
based on services (for example, a disk space hostgroup, an apache
hostgroup, etc)? Or should I create hostgroups based on customers?
What are you guys doing for large scale network monitoring - and how
should I arrange my hostgroups so they make the most sense?
Thanks in advance!
