I'm trying to use nconf for 271 host monitoring. Importing nagios existing conf was not so easy, specially with "parents" property -- parent hosts must be defined first. I had a big problem because used to assign services to hostgroups and this is not possible through nconf default install. Found a workaround: define a new attribute to for class service. - go to Attributes - add "hostgroups" attribute: + Nagios-specific attribute name: hostgroups + friendly name (will be shown in GUI): Hostgroups + description, example or help-text: + attribute belongs to class: service + choose attribute datatype: assign_many + items of class to be assigned: hostgroup + list of possible values (separated by "::"): + attribute is mandatory?: no + attribute is visible?: yes + write attribute to configuration?: yes + ordering: 4 + naming attribute?: no However, the service is still assigned to a host and not sure about "collateral damage". Anyway, this is the power and flexibility of nconf: use a dynamic structure. Dragos
