I want to be able to create a nodes in a way allowing me to not define objects one by one but by assigning a specific monitoring object filter like host=db*&service=ping. While this first part will be pretty easy, it doesn't suffice. Most people will very soon feel the desire to automagically create multiple node definitions based on specific patterns.

Immagine a structure like this one:

web1 = tomcat1;jmx & tomcat1;web
web2 = tomcat2;jmx & tomcat2;web
...
web14 = tomcat14;jmx & tomcat14;web
web = web1 | web2 | ... | web14

You cannot solve this by just stating something like:

web = (host=tomcat*&(service=web|service=jmx)). 

This would lead to a completely different logic and would not be what you intended to achieve. One possible way to configure what we had in our mind could look as follows:

web* = tomcat*;jmx & tomcat*;web
web = 1 of: web*

Best,
Thomas

It should be possible to decide whether the filter should be based on hosts, services or both.
