1. Create an empty hostgroup named SSH-HOSTGROUP
2. Create a generic service template generic-CHECK_SSH 
   with "check_command check_ssh"
3. Put "hostgroups SSH-HOSTGROUP" into the appropiate hosts
4. Create a servicecheck:

define service {
use                             generic-CHECK_SSH
hostgroup_name                  SSH-HOSTGROUP
service_description             SSH
register                        1
contact_groups                  your_contactgroup
}

Once you have this setup, you only need to edit the
hostfiles and add/remove the SSH-HOSTGROUP from the
host to add/remove the check. No more editing of any
other file in the future.

But take care that the hostgroup should never have 0
members or Nagios will bail and refuse to start.
