I have read the documentation and it says that overlapping notificaions should work. Here are the appropriate portions of my config files. I hope I am missing something obvious because I have tried several iterations of the hostgroupescalations with mixed results. In this configuration, everyone gets the first notfication and none after that. Other configs I have tried have sent notifications continuously to admins but not to the ticketing group at all. I am sure there were other results but too many to list. define hostgroupescalation{ hostgroup_name myhosts,myotherhosts first_notification 1 last_notification 1 notification_interval 15 contact_groups ticketing } define hostgroupescalation{ hostgroup_name myhosts,myotherhosts first_notification 1 last_notification 0 notification_interval 15 contact_groups admins } define host { use generic-host host_name networkdev alias networkdev address 172.16.11.229 parents r_kla check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 3 notification_interval 15 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,u,r } define service { use generic-service host_name localhost,r_kla,r_internet,networkdev service_description Alive contact_groups admins check_period 24x7 notification_interval 15 notification_options u,c,r notification_period 24x7 check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 } define hostgroup { hostgroup_name myhosts alias myhosts contact_groups admins members r_kla,networkdev,r_internet } Thanks, I hope someone can set me striaght.
