Selective email/paging notifications

[Scot Jenkins]

I'm running Nagios 1.2 on FreeBSD 4.11 and Nagios 1.3 on Debian
stable.  I've read over the documentation on notifications but didn't
find an answer to my question.

Given a specific service on a host, I'd like to only receive an email
for warning and/or unknown status, yet receive email and pages for
critical and recovery events.

In my services.cfg, I've tried listing the service twice, once with:

...
define service {
        host_name                  gw
        service_description        CPU
        contact_groups             emails
        notification_options       w,u
...
}

define service {
        host_name                  gw
        service_description        CPU
        contact_groups             emails,pagers
        notification_options       c,r
...
}


The Nagios preflight check (nagios -v nagios.cfg) errors with:

Error: Service 'CPU' on host 'gw' has already been defined.

In addition to this it would also be nice to be able to receive
notifications during the day for a given service yet disable it at
other times.  For example, if the CPU is high during the day email and
page me, but I don't want to be paged in the middle of the night.  I
know I could use different notification periods but how can I do that
for the same service on a give host?

Does anyone have suggestions/examples on how to implement either of
these things?

Thanks,
Scot
