Is it still possible in icinga2? If not are there any alternatives ? Look into the rich possibilities of apply rules. Static objects are the old world. https://www.icinga.com/docs/icinga2/latest/doc/03- monitoring-basics/#apply-rules Hint: Don’t use static lists. Rely on pattern and common attributes. Thanks for the reply We do heavily use apply rules based on host variables and for hostgroup definitions, but once in a while we come across a service which is spread across 2 or 3 hosts which don't share anything in common. We can go ahead add separate service definition for each of them(not preferred) or write an apply rule with a reflex matching those specific hosts. Adding plain service definition for a single host and switching over to apply rules when 2 or 3 hosts are involved feels counter-intuitive. Since service definitions will be added by many teams would like to keep it simple.. So need a simple and elegant solution keeping in mind the common pitfalls. https://www.icinga.com/2016/04/28/avoiding-common-pitfalls-with-apply-rules/ So idea is to keep it simple and avoid the pitfalls and performance issues.
