Hmm,

OF course I've read the docs before even
thinking of posting a message.

It looks like I'm missing some logic here.

I made a normal notification that sends out only one 
mail, which I want. To accomplish this, I set the 
notification interval to '0'

So how then is the logic when for that same outage I want
an escalation 1 hour later?


Is this only possible by enabling more notification
thru the normal notification scheme?
