Ethan, et all: It would be nice in Nagios 3.0 to have a little more granularity in assigning contacts to hosts/service. Namely, if a particular person wants notified for a particular service, but the entire team doesn't need those notifications--the only option seems to be to create a new contact group with that one person a member and tie that group to the service. It would be nice if you could tie a singular contact to a host/service. Perhaps you could allow both directives like this: define serivce { service_description ping ... contacts joeblow,janedoe contactgroups network-engineers ... } On that same vein it is nice to have the granularity when assigning contact groups to services and hosts directly (like in Nagios 2.x), but it was sometimes useful to tie a contact group to a ho st group (like in Nagios 1.x) or service group. Perhaps this could also be allowed. See the following: define serivce { service_description ping ... contacts joeblow,janedoe contactgroups network-engineers servicegroups ping-services ... } define serivcegroup { sevicegroup_name ping-services ... contacts johndoe contactgroups network-operations } It is a little more complex, but in this way you could be as granular as you needed, but still be able to use grouping to your advantage.
