Question on Escalations

[Lehman, John]

Hello all,
I have a quick question on escalations.  (The question is at the end of
the email)
The following is how I have my hosts.cfg file configured.

# Generic host definition template
define host{
        name                            generic-host6   ; The name of
this host template - referenced in other host definitions, used for
template recursion/resolution
        check_command           check-host-alive
        contact_groups          Emails_to_My_Staff
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   10
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,r
        notifications_enabled           1       ; Host notifications are
enabled
        event_handler_enabled           1       ; Host event handler is
enabled
        flap_detection_enabled          1       ; Flap detection is
enabled
        process_perf_data               1       ; Process performance
data
        retain_status_information       1       ; Retain status
information across program restarts
        retain_nonstatus_information    1       ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
        register                        0       ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }

define host{
        use                     generic-host6           ; Name of host
template to use
        host_name               6506-RBB1
        alias                   Switch 1
        address                 1.1.1.1
        }
|
|
|other host definitions follow but I am not listing them here.
|
|
|
|
|the I list the service definition and other stuff which works fine
|
|
|
|
Now my Escaltions are configured as follows in the SAME host FILE:

####################################################################
#
# The following are the host escalations for this file
#
#################### Host Group Listing ############################

define hostescalation{
        hostgroup_name          Critical_Devices
        first_notification      2
        last_notification       15
        notification_interval   10
        contact_groups          Pager,Critical_Devices_Pager
}

define hostescalation{
        hostgroup_name          Critical_Devices
        first_notification      6
        last_notification       15
        notification_interval   10
        contact_groups          Managers,CDManagers
}


My question is the following:
Emails_to_My_Staff
then
Pager,Critical_Devices_Pager


However, the Managers,CDManagers groups never get the notification that
the host is down.

Am I missing something here???

Thank you so much in advance.

Regards,
John
