How use service group and contact group?
Hello! I use checkmk v1.6 I’m trying to collect some services from different folders and hosts in one place. I think a service group is suitable for this purpose. I have user and contact group. I used labels for mark services.Next I used rules Assignment of services to service groups and Assignment of services to service groups. But where can I see the selected services?(If I done all right) The user does not have permission to view hosts and services using Main Menu >> Hosts >> folder/service. I’m looking for a way to show only certain services without giving permission to the folder. How can I do it? Thanks!
All service groups can be found in the menu “Monitor > Overview > Service groups”.
Is this solution suitable for version 1.6?
I see my service group in Main Menu >> Host & Service Groups >> Service Group , but I expect find this group in VIEWS >> Service Groups >> Service Groups (Summary).
Sorry, I do not have a CMK 1.6 site any more to look at it.
I found a solution. In the rules “Assignment of services to service groups” and "Assignment of services to contact groups"I used service names as a condition, not labels. maybe in version 2.3.0 I will be able to use labels as well.

- A host group can only contains hosts - I think you would need a Service Group? – Tobias Commented Nov 14, 2019 at 12:02

Service and Host Groups are both assigned through a ruleset.
First you have to create the Service Group: in the "WATO Configuration" menu go to "Host & Service Groups", then select "Service Groups" and create the group you need.
To assign services, go to "Host & Service Parameters", "Grouping", "Assignment of services to service groups" and create a new rule. Here you can select the Service Group you just created and set specific host or service names that should be added to the group.

Host groups are not for the configuration. I would suggest to re-create your host groups rules in the ruleset "Host labels" to assign a label to the hosts. Based on the label you can then create one rule each in the rulesets for host groups and the assignment of contact groups. Would be much easier and more consistent.
CMK version: 2.1.0p28 Via rules of type "Assignment of services to contact groups" I have defined several contact groups for some services on our loadbalancer (F5 BigIP, services are "Load Balancing Pool …" and "Virtual Server …"). When checking the effective parameters of such a services, the corresponding rule for that service is shown to be in effect. But sometimes ...
In my case it is the Assignment of services to contact groups rule. I want to give a special user the permission to see basically everything. But for a few hosts he should only see the PING service and no other services. Is this possible? I tried a few things but maybe someone can give me an easy solution… Regards CheckMan

For example, the contact hhirsch could be in the contact group linux and this in turn could be assigned to all Linux hosts via a rule. A direct assignment of contacts to hosts or services is not possible and could in fact create difficulties in practice (e.g. when a user leaves the organization).
An assignment at the service level allows you to, for example, separate server and application operations. For instance, put the host srvwin123 into the contact group Windows & Linux Servers, but put all of its services beginning with the prefix Oracle into the contact group Oracle Administration, which means that the Windows administrators will not see the Oracle services, and the Oracle ...
To add hosts to host groups, use the Assignment of hosts to host groups rule set, which can be found at Setup > Hosts > Host monitoring rules. Create a new rule. Create a new rule. First, in the Assignment of hosts to host groups box, select the host group to which hosts should be assigned, such as the My Linux servers group in the example:
You are only affected by this change in case you use a) the WATO folder hierarchy for assigning contact groups to services. When using the assigning contact groups to services with the following settings, this could result in too many groups being assigned to a service: Add these groups as contacts to all hosts in this folder: Enabled; Add ...
