Hi Justin <br><br>for that you can use different approach:<br><br>I do for each host a different cfg file, and they are stored into different directories defined in main configuration, on this way is adding or removing hosts easy as in this case u can use templates... <br>
<br>hope this help <br><br><br>davor<br><br><br><a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html</a><br><br><font color="red"><strong><br><br><br></strong></font><br>

Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
I was never able to resolve this question I initially asked some 18<br>
months ago.<br>
<br>
Is there any way to define multiple hosts in a single stanza?<br>
<br>
I currently have a 600 line long file with handsful of 50+ definitions<br>
like:<br>
<br>
define host {<br>
use host0<br>
host_name x<br>
parents y<br>
}<br>
<br>
It seems to me, that it "should" be allowed to define all the hosts<br>
with the same parent (etc) in one stanza, rather than having 10<br>
stanzas for that. That would reduce duplicated information, make the<br>
config file 5x shorter and comparably more maintainable. Is there<br>
really no implemented mechanism to defining multiple hosts having<br>
identical information without using a separate stanza for each?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Justin<br>
