service is in a WARNING state, and then becomes CRITICAL, the contacts (ie: the
pager) are not re-notified. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Courier color=#0000ff

<DIV><FONT face=Courier color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=483455020-11032003>The
same goes for a state that is immediately CRITICAL (like cpu%) and then becomes
WARNING. No email is sent until recovery, when both are
notfied.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Courier color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=483455020-11032003>Of
course, I only want one email sent when the state change occurs because the
Skytel system back-logs pages for me (ie: they aren't lost when I'm in the
subway).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

[Nagios-users] Separate warning and critical notification<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've searched through the faq (which took me 0.0
seconds today, but I don't remember anything similar to this in the past) and
searched through the mail archives and on google, but not found anything
similar to what I'm looking for.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to send our warning notifications by
e-mail and critical notifications by e-mail and pager. My only thought
on this so far is to create separate contacts, one with the e-mail address and
one with the pager of an individual and then limit each of their
notification_options with the w,r or c,r.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone have a suggestion on this?</FONT> </P><BR>
