Thanks Marc. I guess I need to re-factor my configuration.

</div></div>My reading of the documentation is that the host->service inheritance<br>
you are expecting only works if contact_groups isn't specified in the<br>
service. Once you define it, in any way, the implied inheritance is no<br>
longer valid.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Looking into this some more this is going to be a real PITA to migrate our current configuration to handle this. If we migrate this will require us to maintain contacts in the hosts and the services both. How do others handle contacts? Do you maintain them on the Host and Service level?<br>
<br>Should I submit a bug? To re-explain the problem incase I was unclear before:<br>We notify contact_group NOC for everything. For certain services we want to notify ie: contact_group MARKETING, but also have it go to NOC. Rather then letting NOC be the contact_group on the host, and then having the service have the contact_group be "MARKETING, NOC" I would think that I should be able to just put "+MARKETING", I don't think that this should be an issue. Should this be something that I should report as a bug/feature? <br>
<br><br>This said, does anyone know how to get around this behavior?<br><br>
