Ok, it looks like I might be able to simplify this with additional hostgroups:
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name windows-servers
alias windows-servers
}
define host{
use default
host_name OMAJELNS01
address 10.0.1.127
parents OMAJELFW01
hostgroups windows-servers
}
define service{
use server-emailonly-noticket
hostgroup_name windows-servers
service_description cpu
check_command check_nrpe_win_cpu!80!90
}
What do you guys think?
