Way to select file of Service Names for ServiceCheck ? ---Ig

Ignore this post, found what I needed.

Is there a way to select a file name for a check_nt ServiceCheck?

For example, I’d like to group similar service names (like Exchange Services) into a file (let’s call it Exchange_Services) and then have the entry in the services.cfg be able to reference it.

Like this:

Exchange Services definition

define service{
use generic-service
e template to use

    hostgroup_name                  Exchange-servers
    service_description             Exchange services
    is_volatile                     0
    check_period                    24x7
    max_check_attempts              3
    normal_check_interval           3
    retry_check_interval            1
    contact_groups                  network-admins
    notification_interval           120
    notification_period             24x7
    notification_options            w,u,c,r
    check_command                   check_exchange_services!Exchange_Services
    }

I know I can write a customized:

define command{
command_name check_exchange_services
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$
}

and then my Exchange_Services has:
Microsoft Exchange Event
Microsoft Exchange IMAP4
Microsoft Exchange Information Store
…etc etc

Or, is there no way to do this and I must just add each Exchange Service I want to check in the services.cfg?

Nevermind, I’ll just use my above customized checkcommand using the service names in the service.cfg. That is of course if “spaces” are allowed in the service definition, like this:
check_command check_nt_exch!Information Store

yes spaces are allowed.
