Multi-Tenancy example

Elements of the following diagrams show the relationships between hosts, host groups, contacts, and contact groups.

Two client companies are defined - Little Guy and Mega Corp - each of which has a single top-level contact group covering their entire company. Those top-level contact groups then have other sub-groups as their members, which are used to define roles or departments within the company. The sub-groups then have individual employees as their members. The illustrations represents the configuration.

Top-level host groups are configured to contain each company's respective infrastructure elements. Sub-level host groups are defined to narrow the scope of included infrastructure elements for Mega Corp. The illustration shows the hosts that are defined as members of various hostgroups, along with the the contact(s) and/or contact group(s) that are assigned to each host for notification purposes.
