Checking a service on all hosts _except_...

[Ian Marlier]

Hey, all --

This is one of those questions that I'm sure many people have asked before,
but I haven't been able to find the answer if/when it was given...so sorry
if I'm making someone repeat him/herself....

Anyway.

I've got an environment with about 65 linux servers, and about 5 windows
servers.  There's a base set of 6 or 7 services that I want to monitor on
all of them: connectivity, ssh, cron, and a couple of others.

I'm wondering whether it's possible to define a hostgroup (say,
"windows-servers") with the non-linux boxes listed, and then define a
service check for all hosts except those.

Something like:

define service {
name    SSH
host_name   *
except_hostgroup    windows-servers
check_command   check_ssh
.
.
.
}

So, anyone have any thoughts?  C'mon, make my life better ;-)

Thanks!

- Ian
