hostgroups.cfg - hostgroups as members within hostgroup definitions

[Ben Whaley]

This question is similar to the one earlier today with subject Nagios:
Nested Host Groups. I would like to define a hostgroup with several members
and then use that hostgroup within other hostgroups.

For example, I have a number of hosts setup in a cluster. I will call them
cluster1, cluster2, cluster3, and cluster4. I would like to make these a
hostgroup, like this:

define hostgroup {
    hostgroup_name  cluster_group_a
    alias           cluster_group_a
    contact_groups  whatever
    members         cluster1, cluster2, cluster3, cluster4
}

I would then like to include this in another hostgroup, such as the
following:

define hostgroup {
    hostgroup_name  my_clusters
    alias           my_clusters
    contact_groups  whatever
    members         cluster_group_a, cluster_group_b, cluster_group_c
}

I think you get the picture. Is this possible? If so, do I do it like that?

Thanks in advance. I apologize if this subject has been covered before - I
didn't see anything after a quick search of the list.

Thanks and Regards,
Ben Whaley
