Thanks for this example.

I'm trying to do something similar with an allhosts hostgroup definition and 
it doesn't seem to work unless all hosts in the allhosts group also have 
services defined for them.  In this case I get an error like

Error: Could not find a service matching host name 'AXSP51' and description 
'.*' (config file 
'/vol/omni/nagios-3.2.1/config/test/objects/contacts/Contacts.cfg', starting 
on line 74)
Error: Could not expand services specified in service escalation (config file 
'/vol/omni/nagios-3.2.1/config/test/objects/contacts/Contacts.cfg', starting 
on line 74)

AXSP51 has no services defined for it, but I monitor it as a parent for hosts 
that do.  Do I need to maintain a host group to use instead of allhosts just 
for the hosts that have services defined for them, or is there a more 
convenient (i.e., less error prone) way around this?

Thanks,
Paul Dubuc
