Yes checks = services

Sorry i should be more careful with my terminology

Thats right, linking the services to hostgroups
and just using a host-template to add the host to a host_group

eg, using the above example a (simplified) host-template would look like

define host{
         name                  windows
         hostgroup        +windows
         register             0
}


I actually then 'use' another host-template in the above, to set default
options such as check_command.
