FEATURE REQUEST: Contact granularity

[Marlo Bell]

Ethan, et all:
 
It would be nice in Nagios 3.0 to have a little more granularity in assigning
contacts to hosts/service. Namely, if a particular person wants notified for a
particular service, but the entire team doesn't need those notifications--the
only option seems to be to create a new contact group with that one person a
member and tie that group to the service. It would be nice if you could tie a
singular contact to a host/service. Perhaps you could allow both directives like
this:
 
define serivce {
service_description ping
...
contacts joeblow,janedoe
contactgroups network-engineers
...
}
 
On that same vein it is nice to have the granularity when assigning contact
groups to services and hosts directly (like in Nagios 2.x), but it was sometimes
useful to tie a contact group to a host group or service group. Perhaps this
could also be allowed. See the following:
 
define serivce {
service_description ping
...
contacts joeblow,janedoe
contactgroups network-engineers
servicegroups ping-services
...
}
 
define serivcegroup {
sevicegroup_name ping-services
...
contacts johndoe
contactgroups network-operations
}
 
It is a little more complex, but in this way you could be as granular as you
needed, but still be able to use grouping to your advantage.
