notification commands based on hosts or services

[Mike Culbertson]

To add to the issues...

I bit the bullet and went ahead and created additional entries for each 
contact, named test<contact>, and placed them all in a contact group "test" 
all with email-only notifications.  I then realized that the service 
templates for all of my checks are based around the type/timing of the 
checks, i.e. 15-min-check,5-min-check, etc.  All the templates point to the 
main contact group.

I cannot change the templates, because that would affect ALL services, not 
just the ones I want only email from, and I hoped I might be able to remove 
the default contact group and it would default to the contact group for the 
host or hostgroup, but that is not the case.  Removing the default contact 
group for a service template results in a warning for every service that 
uses the template.

So is it accurate, then, that my options are these:

New service templates for each of the groups of services for which I need 
specific notification types.

or

Removing contact group from the service templates and specfiying the 
contactgroup in each individual service.


I am somewhat reluctant to do either as this would require editing a huge 
number of service entries in either case.  Any ideas/hacks/tips?
