Subject: [Nagios-users] Service and host notifications: best practise

We have a setup similar to: 100 monitored servers split into five groups,
A-E.

We would like notifications for host and service problems for all servers to
be sent to the IT team. In addition, we would like host and service problems
for servers in Group A to go to the group A manager, host and service
problems for Group B to go to the group B manager, and so on.

We tend to manage host notification via host groups, and service
notifications via service groups. We really want to manage service
notifications on a host group basis, so if Apache fails on a group A
machine, we notify the IT team and the Group A manager.

I'm looking for ideas for implementing that in a manageable and scalable
way.

If I've not described the problem clearly enough, I apologise: please ask
questions for clarity.

Thanks,
Keith
