escalations question

[Divan Santana]

Hi All,

I'm wondering if one can do this with Nagios. One can do similar things with 
check_mk unfortunately check_mk doesn't support anyway to define escalations so 
this needs to be done in nagios core.

Challenge 1
=========
With this set in nagios.cfg
use_regexp_matching=1
use_true_regexp_matching=0

define serviceescalation{
        hostgroup_name          hostgroup
        service_description     !fs_/app.*,.*
        first_notification      3
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   15
        contact_groups          tsdmidrangelinux-admins-escalate
        }
results in this error:
Error: Could not find a service matching host name 'example1.blah.com' and 
description '!fs_/app.*' (config file '/etc/nagios/objects/escalations.cfg', 
starting on line 41)

Challenge 2
=========
With this set in nagios.cfg
use_regexp_matching=1
use_true_regexp_matching=0

define serviceescalation{
        hostgroup_name          hostgroup
        service_description     ExampleService
        first_notification      3
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   15
        contact_groups          tsdmidrangelinux-admins-escalate
        }
results in this error:
Error: Could not find a service matching host name 'example1.blah.com' and 
description 'ExampleService' (config file '/etc/nagios/objects/escalations.cfg', 
starting on line 41)

This ExampleService would exist on another example2.blah.com . It would be 
nice if one could achieve this in Nagios.
