To check same services for multiple hosts

[Nagios_User]

Got a direct question about the services.cfg file....
Do i need to add one service block for each host?
Considering that i need to check the same services on every machine ...Is there a way to simplify this adding just one entry per service for all them?

Thanks in advance for your help.

HI,

Instead of just one hostname you may enter a comma-separated line of hosts in the service entries in "services.cfg".

Bear in mind that this will complicate individual configuration of the involved hosts.

You can also add an hostgroup_name directive. I tried and it worked !
You must create a group with all your host of course.
