Separate warning and critical notification

[atonns at mail.ivillage.com]

I've been trying to do this, but it doesn't work for me.
 
If a service is in a WARNING state, and then becomes CRITICAL, the contacts
(ie: the pager) are not re-notified. However, it does send two recover
messages when it becomes OK.
 
The same goes for a state that is immediately CRITICAL (like cpu%) and then
becomes WARNING. No email is sent until recovery, when both are notfied.
 
Of course, I only want one email sent when the state change occurs because
the Skytel system back-logs pages for me (ie: they aren't lost when I'm in
the subway).
 
 
I'm not complaining because this is how Nagios is spec'd. I'm just chiming
in that I haven't found a way around these issues.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Separate warning and critical notification



I've searched through the faq (which took me 0.0 seconds today, but I don't
remember anything similar to this in the past) and searched through the mail
archives and on google, but not found anything similar to what I'm looking
for.

I would like to send our warning notifications by e-mail and critical
notifications by e-mail and pager.  My only thought on this so far is to
create separate contacts, one with the e-mail address and one with the pager
of an individual and then limit each of their notification_options with the
w,r or c,r.

Anyone have a suggestion on this?
