Setting up Escalations.

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

First, local definitions win over those written in templates, so if in  
the template you have a notification_interval value and in the  
escalation you have another, escalation wins and its value is adopted.

Second, notification_interval il the interval between two consecutive  
notifications for a host or a service, after it enters a non ok status  
and has exceeded max_check_attempts value.

Ciao,

Giorgio
