Good morning,
k, so i have 1100 hosts setup in my nagios config. i am now
configuring the notification for these hosts and services. The problem is
that i have hosts/services that are deemed critical and i want to be able to
change the method of notification depending on the timeperiod.
e.g. Critical_server goes down during working hours, techs are on-site and
watching their e-mail so i just want them to be notified via e-mail.
If Critical_server goes down during non-working hours, techs are not
checking their e-mail and need to be paged as well.
It seems as though the only place to tell nagios _how_ to notify a
contact is in the contact.cfg.
Based on my understanding, i would have to create two contacts for
each technician (tech1-workinghours, tech1-nonworkinghours,
tech2-workinghours, tech2-nonworkinghours...) and also two contactgroups
(techs-workinghours, techs-nonworkinghours). Then i add both contactgroups
to the host's/service's "contact_groups" entry.
Does anyone have a better way of doing this??
thanks in advance,
dean
