So I would need to have last_notification be 0 and
notification_interval be 0? Or just last_notification? Is there a
better way for me to do the service escalation so I do not have 3
separate entries? I do know that you can have similar services from
multiple hosts in the same service escalation, but I am just wondering
if I can compress the configs a little more. Thanks for the quick
response.
