Notifications and Escalations and Notification_intervals, oh my!

[Mike Neimoyer]

Hello, all!

I'm trying to understand how notification intervals work when it comes 
to basic service definitions and serviceescalation definitions. Does 
Nagios disregard the initial notification_interval of a service 
definition, once it reaches an escalation, in favor of the escalation's 
notification_interval?

Example:
I have a service's notification_interval set to 15, so that once a state 
change occurs, a notification is sent out, then another after 15 
minutes, and another after 15 minutes, etc... With Nagios counting the 
notifications as they get sent.

Now, I want to define an escalation for that service so that on 
notification number 2 Nagios notifies a different contact_group.  I have 
the notification_interval for the escalation set to 10 minutes.

How does the notification_interval work in this instance, where the 
period is different?

Thanks!
~~Mike
