Thanks Marc. After writing this and digging a bit, and seeing your reply this makes sense. We are moving from sitescope and are used to using the "reply to all" on the email to notify people of what is going on. <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 11:38 AM, Marc Powell <<a href="mailto:marc@ena.com">marc@ena.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><div></div><div class="h5"> On Apr 6, 2009, at 11:45 AM, Matt Nelson wrote: > Is there a way to change the notifications that go out to multiple > contact groups to cc all the groups?

It fully processes each contact, including sending the notification, before moving on to the next. This is done because each contact can have different contact options and time periods. Notification grouping would require more complex logic just to fulfill a niche need. There's nothing built in to nagios to allow for the notification grouping that you want nor are there add on projects that provide it that I know of. Such an add-on would need to receive notifications, group them by problem then somehow determine that nagios has sent to all the recipients (a specific interval after first notification) and then create the real notification. Nagios Notification Daemon (<a href="http://nlchiintmg.com/nan.php" target="_blank">http://nlchiintmg.com/nan.php</a>) is sort-of like what you need, but not it. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
