Anyone have a solution for the issue of wanting to be notified of warnings but only wanting to paged when the service/host goes critical?

I can think of work-arounds but I cannot think of a direct way to do this within Nagios. -You could add another contact and into contacts.cfg. Contact1: jlancaster Contact2: jlancaster-pager I would then define different host and service notification options for each. Personally, I never envisioned needing this but it's a major limitation on Nagios templates and in my current database implementation. Doh. -You could also write a wrapper for the pager notification command and search the $HOSTSTATE$ variable for critical notifications. -Additionally, you could take the second workaround a step further and create a more advanced contact notification module. I know I have seen discussions with regards to the development and use of more advanced notification systems before on this list. You might want to post a followup to your first post reiterating what you said to me below. (You're welcome to post what I wrote too) Let me know what you come up with.

That appears to be a setting for notifying only when host is in a particular state. I want to know when the warning states occur but I only want them emailed, I do not want to be paged. I only want to be paged when it is critical.

Yes, this type of functionality defined in the contacts.cfg service_notification_options and host_notification_options.

I want to have nagios only page people when services or hosts are critical, I only want email when they are in a warning state. TIA Steve O'Brien </tt>
