Bear in mind the filenames host.conf, service.conf etc are immaterial - Icinga
simply reads all files ending in .conf and processes their contents.

Rather than "assign where host.name == " (which means you do have to have one
assign statement for every host), consider using something like "assign where
host.vars.systemX" and then in each *host* definition simply include
"vars.systemX = true".
That means you have one more line per host definition, and a single service
definition, which then works for all hosts of that type.
In place of "serviceX", use some word which means something suitable for
whatever these things do - an example from my own network is "vars.PBX =
true", which tells me this machine is running Asterisk, and needs the
appropriate Asterisk checks to be applied to it.
Hope that helps,
Antony.
