services.cfg and notifications (wishfull thinking)

[Russell Scibetti]

For notifications, you are in complete control on what Nagios executes. 
 If you make a "smart" notification script, the script can know what 
services should also causes pages to be sent.  Then, you make a command 
definition (probably in the misccommands.cfg file) that calls this 
script with several arguments (the host name, service name, output, 
pager, email, etc).  Use this as your notification command for your 
contacts.

Another option is to make 2 contact groups, one for contacting via email 
and one for contacting via pager.  Then, you can use the contact_groups 
setting of a service definition to have some services use both groups 
(sends pages and emails) and others just the email contactgroup.

As for sending to individual contacts, this is currently not an option 
anywhere.  I don't know if there is any plan to add it as an additional 
feature.
