It's possibly one reason you're not receiving many responses.
Regarding your question:
Have you tried specifying using the host_name format comma seperated?
define serviceescalation{
host_name HOST1,HOST2,HOST3
service_description *
other escalation directives ...
}
Using "hostgroup_name" in addition to a wildcard or using multiple wildcards
may not be supported. Nagios 2.0 may have better handling of wildcards,
someone using 2.0 may be able to tell you.

and noticed lots of kind folks answering lots of questions, but not
answering
mine. Could someone have a look and offer a clue? Thanks In Advance, it is

I'm trying to configure escalations by group using the document 'Time Saving
Tricks for Template-Based Object Definitions' But the form I need isn't
described there though it seems valid by implication. In practice however it
isn't. I can't imagine why not. (maybe there is another way to do what I
want?)<br>
<br>
What I want to do is;<br>
<br>
hostgroup_name datagroup<br>
service_description *<br>
<br>
This should (???) cause all services on all hosts in the hostgroup named
'datagroup' to use this escalation definition, yes?<br>
<br>
Instead I get an error message of the form;<br>
<br>
Error: Service escalation for service '*' on host 'email1 email2' is not
defined anywhere!<br>
<br>
In this case the hostgroup_name was 'mail' and the members are email1 and
email2. They both have about 18 services defined. The form;<br>
<br>
hostname email1<br>
service_description *<br>
<br>
works just fine. I'd hate to have to duplicate and maintain an escalation
definition for each host though!<br>
<br>
Again, Thanks In Advance.<br>
