Notification escalation and notification interval

[Michael Mukherji]

Hello List

I am using nagios 3.0.1 in Ubuntu desktop version 7.10.Luckily i configured
my all devices mostly windows based.I am monitoring 75 hosts and 1052
services associated with it.
My notification is working fine i am using sendEmail client but i get
notification of host and service problem after 3 min of host /service being
down.
Is there any way to reduce time , i tried to search for commands definition
on /usr/local/nagios/objects/commands.cfg file but no lucks.where can i find
these definitions made for notification interval?


Also i would like to have escalation matrix for the notifications such a way
that if hardstate remains for more than an hr, escalations occur.In the
below mentioned comand is it possible to specify more than one service ? or
all services together ..........since I want the same escalation for each
host/sevice down.

define serviceescalation{
host_name webserver
service_description HTTP
first_notification 3
last_notification 5
notification_interval 90
contact_groups nt-admins,managers
}

and the most important where do in need to define these commands ? in
contacts.cfg file as well as commands.cfg file

I am new to nagios so list help is surely appreciated also i have tried to
dig out this info from documntation & FAQ's but no help.

thanks
