Hi guys,

 

I am building a nagios setup that is going to be monitoring a number of
different clients who have varying levels of support (all have 9am-6pm
and then others have 8am as well, then there are 4 time periods that
include the evenings and weekends which can be purchased separately.

 

I am centralising my Nagios setup as much as possible and currently each
type of service (exchange 2003, IIS, Active Directory, SQL etc) are all
assigned to a hostgroup and then the hosts are made a member of the
hostgroup and any extra checks are added into the client config files as
necessary. 

 

What I am trying to work out is the best way to assign the relevant time
periods to each host. Am I right in understanding that if I create a
template host and service for each timeperiod that I can't assign these
two templates to the same host/service as one will overwrite the other?

 

Is the best way to approach this to define a template for hosts/servers
for each client and setup the notifications in here? Is it also possible
to have the notification do more than just email/sms - I would
potentially like the notification to log a call in our CMS the first
time it notices the host is down and then after this just send
notifications.

 

All thoughts/comments appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Matt White
