Hi Guys,

I’ve got Nagios all set up now, monitoring SMTP and PING on a few of our customers which is great, also email notifications are working.

I have a a host group set up with a few servers in that are currently monitoring PING and SMTP, now some of these customers i know for a fact do not have a mailserver so i’d like to remove SMTP from a couple of users within this group whilst keeping PING. However, i’m not sure how to edit checks for services at individual customer level within a group. Do i need to set up a whole new group for users without a mailserver?

Thanks guys for any help you can provide. :smiley:

I’m assuming that you’re using host groups for managing your groups. Is this correct?
If so you this syntax should work for you.

define service{
        hostgroup_name   !excluded-servers,included-servers
; your mail server check goes here
        }

All you should need to do is create a new host group that contains the names of the servers you don’t want to have checked. The rest of your existing structure should remain unaffected.

That’s brilliant.
