unique computers in a hostgroup

[Janet Post]

I have the same issue, where I have a large main group, say
mysql-servers, and some run ntpd while others run xntpd.  I have had to
set up different groups which I name accordingly -- mysql-servers-ntp
and mysql-servers-xntpd.  In the case of one group of servers, I have 7
different 'custom' groups to take into account different computers.

This is extremely cumbersome, as nearly every group has exceptions.  :-)
If anyone has a better more elegent method of dealing with this, than
please please speak up.

Janet

Subject: [Nagios-users] unique computers in a hostgroup

Hello, I'm new to the list and had a rather quick question.

I have nagios2 installed on a debian testing system, and it's monitoring
a hostgroup for each cabinet I monitor (currently have only one cabinet
of 42 U's setup). I have three service checks set up for this group
(cabinet1) which are http, ftp, and disk space. The problem comes up
with a few machines (3) that do not have ftp set up, so nagios is
constantly returning a critical error. I need to make exceptions in this
group for those systems.. and when I start adding things like mysql
checks, and custom plugins, I need to make some systems that don't have
mysql and such things on them.

Is this possible?
