[chef] Re: nagios hostgroup

[Tim Smith < >]

The Chef role to Nagios host group role assignment is a 1 to 1 relationship.  You could use the search based host groups to add another host group though.  You can search out attributes or chef roles and define another host group that includes a specific set of monitors.  There's an example of the syntax for that in the Readme and the examples directory.

Drawing a blank here. 

Typically with Nagios data bags, you would create the services and use the 'role' as the hostgroup; would it be possible to apply multiple hostgroup to a particular service?

I have storage servers that need to have C:\, D:\, and E:\ Drive and use role 'Storage' to monitor all 3 drives; however, I have some old school storage servers that use C:\ H:\ I:\.  Would I be able to append 'storage' and 'old_storage' to the hostgroup name?
