My problem,
I am trying to send a down and recovery message to a different contact
group than what is defined in host definition. Also I want to send only one
email to the new contact group. In the example below host A has contact
group C defined. However I want send my notification to contact group D.
Thanks
I have a host definiton like
define host {
host_name A
hostgroups X
alias A
address A
contact_groups C
check_period 24x7
check_interval 15
retry_interval 3
max_check_attempts 3
notification_period extended
notification_interval 30
notification_options d,r,f
notifications_enabled 1
check_command check-host-alive
}
I have a host escalation definition
define hostescalation{
hostgroup_name X
contact_groups D
first_notification -1
last_notification 1
notification_interval 0
escalation_period 24x7
escalation_options d,r
}
