That's what I've done. My understanding in Nagios is that a config file
is a config file. I've never tried it, but I believe you could stuff
your entire config (hosts, services, checkcommands, notification
commands) into a single file. You'd be nuts given how incredibly
complex Nagios configs can get, but you could. By the same token, you
could break them out into as many individual files as you like as well
as long as your nagios.cfg lists all the files it's supposed to read.
I did as you indicated -- keep my hosts (windows or otherwise) in my
hosts.cfg file. I tend to sort my config files by application rather
than OS type so I put the service entries in files/directories with
still other names.

Thanks for the info. So for example, it wants me to define new
hosts in the windows.cfg. Is there a point to that? Can I just put
service definitions in the windows.cfg and utilize the hosts I already
have defined in hosts.cfg ?

Jerad,
I took this to mean that it's a sort of generic/example
config file. You can always break out your configuration into
additional files/directories as makes sense for your installation as
long as you add new lines in the nagios.cfg file to tell it to read each
new file and/or directory you create.
I found that a few things in that 3.0 doc for monitoring
with NSClient++ that weren't correct so you will find yourself making
some modifications to get things to work if you've completely copied
entries from that doc page.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Windows monitoring
I'm going through this article:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html
It is referring to a windows.cfg within
nagios.cfg. I don't see any such commented out line in my nagios.cfg,
and I can't even find a windows.cfg at all. Is the difference that I am
running 2.9 and this is referring to 3.0?
