Notification clarification

[Dennis Hopp]

I've got nagios monitoring different aspects of our servers (CPU, disk,
etc.).  For ease of administration I have a service that looks like
this:

define  service{
        use                             generic-service
        hostgroup_name                  WindowsServers, WindowsXP
        service_description             CPU
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    Non-Backup-Hours
        max_check_attempts              5
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            3
        contact_groups                  domain-admins
        check_command                   check_win_cpu!80!90
}

The hostgroups have a number of servers providing all sorts of different
services.  

I'm going to add a new contactgroup for our dbas but I ONLY want to
notify the dbas for services that affect their servers (they don't need
to know that the CPU on our internal jabber server is spiking)...

What I want to know is if I add the db-admin group to the contact_groups
for the CPU service, will the db-admin group get ALL notifications
regarding ANY servers CPU usage or will they only get a message
regarding the CPU usage of hosts (in the host definition) they are
listed as a contact?

I've read the notification part of the documentation and it is a little
unclear on this.

Thanks
