Host Escalation Problems

I guess I wasn't patient enough.  The config below seems to work.  My alerts
were not coming in quite as expected but I was not allowing for time to run
the checks themselves.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Host Escalation Problems



I am having a problem trying to get host notifications sent to my ticketing
system only on the first notification and to my admins group for all
notifications.   I have read the documentation and it says that overlapping
notificaions should work.  Here are the appropriate portions of my config
files.  I hope I am missing something obvious because I have tried several
iterations of the hostgroupescalations with mixed results.  In this
configuration, everyone gets the first notfication and none after that.
Other configs I have tried have sent notifications continuously to admins
but not to the ticketing group at all.  I am sure there were other results
but too many to list.


define hostgroupescalation{ 
        hostgroup_name          myhosts,myotherhosts 
        first_notification      1 
        last_notification       1 
        notification_interval   15 
        contact_groups          ticketing 
        } 

define hostgroupescalation{ 
        hostgroup_name          myhosts,myotherhosts 
        first_notification      1 
        last_notification       0 
        notification_interval   15 
        contact_groups          admins 
        } 



define host { 
    use    generic-host 
    host_name   networkdev 
    alias    networkdev  
    address       172.16.11.229 
    parents     r_kla 
    check_command    check-host-alive 
    max_check_attempts    3 
    notification_interval    15 
    notification_period    24x7 
    notification_options    d,u,r 
} 


define service { 
    use    generic-service 
    host_name    localhost,r_kla,r_internet,networkdev 
    service_description    Alive 
    contact_groups    admins 
    check_period    24x7 
    notification_interval    15 
    notification_options    u,c,r 
    notification_period    24x7 
    check_command    check-host-alive 
    max_check_attempts    3 
    normal_check_interval    5 
    retry_check_interval    1 
} 

define hostgroup { 
    hostgroup_name    myhosts 
    alias    myhosts 
    contact_groups    admins 
    members    r_kla,networkdev,r_internet 
} 



Thanks, I hope someone can set me striaght.
