Hi All 
,
 
Need help on the Following 

 
Clarifications:
 
1) What’s the 
difference between Notification Alerts and Escalations and how to configure 
escalations and how to test it.
 
2) Iam using the template of 
local-service while defining services in 
locahost.cfg
 
define 
service{
        
use                             local-service         ; Name of service template 
to use
        
host_name                       localhost
        
service_description             Total Processes
        
check_command                   
check_local_procs!250!400!RSZDT
        
}
 
When I see the template definition 
for local-service
 
# Local service definition template 
- This is NOT a real service, just a template!
 
define 
service{
        
name                            local-service           ; The name of this 
service template
        
use                             generic-service         ; Inherit default values 
from the generic-service definition
        
max_check_attempts              4                       ; Re-check the service 
up to 4 times in order to determine its final
 (hard) 
state
        normal_check_interval       
    5                       ; Check the service every 5 minutes under normal 
conditions
        
retry_check_interval            1                       ; Re-check the service 
every minute until a hard state can be determ
ined
        register              
          0                       ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A 
REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEM
PLATE!
        
}
 
There is no 
notification enabled/mentioned, iam surprised then how iam getting the Email 
Notifications when this specific service is down as the template specific to 
this service
Doesn’t have 
notifications enabled.
