linking service templates to host templates

[kidoun]

I'm trying to setup Host/service templates such that when I add a new host with a host template, all of the services linked to that host template automatically get added for the new host.

I've created the host template, and then linked the appropriate service template, but after the host is created no services are added for the host. Is there something I need to change before I export everything? Am I missing something?

you have to check "yes" for Create Services linked to the Template too
when you create a host with services template.

Doh! It's always the stupid stuff. Thanks!

As a followup question for this... Lets say I have X hosts setup with host/service templates, then I wish to add another service to all of them. So I add a new service template, and then link it to the host template which the X servers use. Now when I reload the nagios configs, these services to not get added to the already existing hosts. Is there anyway to make this automagically happen, without going in and re-saving each individual host with the "create services" radio checked?

edit host configuration, click again to enable the service templates deployment and save
