The following four lines are are examples of read/write access for netops and helpdesk: contact_groups netops, helpdesk contact_groups netops, helpdesk:rw contact_groups netops:rw, helpdesk contact_groups netops:rw, helpdesk:rw The following two lines are are examples of read/write access for netops and read only (view only) for helpdesk: contact_groups netops, helpdesk:r contact_groups netops:rw, helpdesk:r Alex -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

Does it exist? if not, i'd really like to see this value in the future version of nagios. It's a must for RRD because i need to change step and hearbeat value in according to normal_check_interval. I found a solution, but my programming skill is basic, and is quite ugly. Sorry for my english.
