usa of multiple templates in contact-definition

[Ilya Ruprecht]

Dear list,

following situation:

two contact-templates are defined:

-------------------------
# <ContactTemplate>
# Normal workhours, 8-17
define contact{
        name                            contact-at-workhours
        use                             generic-contact
        service_notification_commands   notify-service-by-email
        host_notification_commands      notify-host-by-email
        register                        0                       
        }

# and one hour before work and 3 hours after, 7-8 + 17-21
define contact{
        name                            contact-at-prepostworkhours
        use                             generic-contact
        service_notification_period     prepostworkhours                
        host_notification_period        prepostworkhours                
        service_notification_commands   notify-service-by-email,notify-service-by-sms
        host_notification_commands      notify-host-by-email,notify-host-by-sms 
        register                        0
        }
# </ContactTemplate>

# <TimeperiodTemplate>
define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name workhours
        alias           Normal Work Hours
        monday          08:00-17:00
        tuesday         08:00-17:00
        wednesday       08:00-17:00
        thursday        08:00-17:00
        friday          08:00-17:00
        }

define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name prepostworkhours
        alias           Eine Stunde VOR der Schicht und die Spätschicht inklusive
        monday          07:00-8:00,17:00-21:00
        tuesday         07:00-8:00,17:00-21:00
        wednesday       07:00-8:00,17:00-21:00
        thursday        07:00-8:00,17:00-21:00
        friday          07:00-8:00,17:00-21:00
        }
# </TimeperiodTemplate>
---------------------

Then a contact person is defined:

-----------------
define contact{
        contact_name                    iruprecht
        use                             contact-at-workhours,contact-at-prepostworkhours
        alias                           Vladimirs Vecgailis
        email                           ilya_ruprecht at gmx.de
        pager                           0179123123123
        }
-----------------

So far so good.

The problem is - the contact "iruprecht" is getting notifications only in the "workhours".

I also see in the "View config"-menu, that  "iruprecht" will get notified only in the "workhours".

The thing is, as far as i know YOU CAN use multiple template-references in the contact-definition.
(At least it was told so by the speaker in a presentation(http://www.linuxtag.org/2008/de/conf/events/vp-mittwoch/vortragsdetails.html?talkid=64) at the LinuxTag 2008.

But somehow it seems not to work..


The Nagios-version used is 3.0.3.


Thanks in advance!
