I checked again in all the documentation under advanced topics and escalation and I don't see anything about this. Is it in there and I am just missing it?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/6/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

I'm wondering if I'm missing something or thinking about this<br>incorrectly. I have some hosts that have services and their contact<br>groups already defined like so:<br><br>define service{<br> use generic-service
<br> host_name vader<br> service_description NTP<br> is_volatile 0<br> check_period 24x7<br> retry_check_interval 1
<br> contact_groups oncall,ulsysadmins,dba<br> notification_interval 5<br> notification_period 24x7<br> notification_options w,u,c,r<br> check_command check_ntp
<br>}<br><br>I also have an escalation for this service:<br><br>define serviceescalation{<br> host_name vader<br> service_description NTP<br> first_notification 2
<br> last_notification 2<br> notification_interval 5<br> contact_groups oncall<br>}<br><br>define serviceescalation{<br> host_name vader<br>
service_description NTP<br> first_notification 3<br> last_notification 4<br> notification_interval 5<br> contact_groups oncall,backup
<br>}<br>define serviceescalation{<br> host_name vader<br> service_description NTP<br> first_notification 5<br> last_notification 0<br> notification_interval 0
<br> contact_groups oncall,backup<br>}<br><br>What I'm wondering is if I can add another contact for this service<br>that gets notified after 30 minutes, but only gets notified once.<br>Ideally I would like to be able to do this as easily as possible and
<br>for an entire group of servers and for multiple services, if possible.<br>We are migrating from big brother and while big brother is not nearly<br>as complex and functional as Nagios, it can be done in big brother<br>
with probably one line. Am I missing something though? Can a service<br>be defined twice? Or can I define it in an escalation that includes<br>the entire hostgroup that I want? Thanks in advance.<br><br>Jeff<br></blockquote>
