Within these directories are at least two files, a host.cfg (list of hosts and host groups) and a service.cfg (listing services and service groups). Inheritance is heavily used in order to avoid writing the same service checks or host directives repeatedly for each individual host. A generic template of basic services (e.g. ping, ssh) is inherited by all host files first and then the specific service directives are added on top of that.
