I use hostgroup_name in services but as far as i know you can't use both
at once so NO
define service{
..
hostgroup_name somegroups
host_name some additional hosts
..
}
You need one service entry with only host_name and one with
hostgroup_name, but you can use multiple grous or hosts in every of them.
