We routinely use templates which assign a hostgroup to a host, and that hostgroup will have a set of standard check for that type of host assigned to it. When a new host gets added, all it takes is a "use some_host_template" and all the standard services we run on that type of host just show up. </div></blockquote></div> Patrick, can you explain this a bit further or point me towards another post that does the same. Sounds like an interesting feature I want to explore.
