| On the other hand, Argus will not complain about this, but will act as if
| this line and all groups/services following do not exist:
| 
| Host "machine.asite.org" { Service TCP/DNS }
| 
| I had a number of hosts with a single test that I tried making "look pretty"
| by lining them up like the above, took a while to figure out how to fix. The
| config docs don't mention that each group, service, and config attribute
| needs to be on a line by itself. Would be good to document


see:
    http://argus.tcp4me.com/config.html

    > place the opening { on a different line

    > Also, the closing } must be on
    > a line by itself (with optional whitespace)
