<html> <head> <style> .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { font-size: 10pt; font-family:Verdana } </style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Just thinking about something here and didn't make sense. Wanted to make sure I was not missing something... I define a contact like in the documentation... define contact{ contact_name jdoe alias John Doe host_notifications_enabled 1 service_notifications_enabled 1 service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_options w,u,c,r host_notification_options d,u,r service_notification_commands notify-by-email host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email email <A href="mailto:jdoe@localhost.localdomain">jdoe@localhost.localdomain</A> pager <A href="mailto:555-5555@pagergateway.localhost.localdomain">555-5555@pagergateway.localhost.localdomain</A> address1 <A href="mailto:xxxxx.xyyy@icq.com">xxxxx.xyyy@icq.com</A> address2 555-555-5555 can_submit_commands 1 } Sure he gets email alerts just fine, but what if I wanted to make sure the contacts got emails to his default email as well as ADDRESS1 or PAGER for a particular service? I create a "service_notification_command" called "notify-by-address1" which would work, but I can only seem to specify this on the contact level so he would get alerts to both addresses for every service he's a contact for. I know I could alternatively create a 2nd contact and add that 2nd contact to the particular service, I just didn't know if I'm missing some other way to configure a contact 'method' for a given contact at a service/host level. Also I'm assuming I can modify this line... service_notification_commands notify-by-email,notify-by-address1 For a given service so they get alerts to both locations for all alerts. If not... perhaps be able to add something like this at the individual service/host level... contact jdoe:notify-by-email,jdoe:notify-by-pager defaulting to email if no method is defined... -- Mat W. - <A href="http://www.techadre.com">http://www.techadre.com</A> <hr />Windows Live™ SkyDrive™: Store, access, and share your photos. <a href='http://windowslive.com/Online/SkyDrive?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_CS_SD_photos_072009' target='_new'>See how.</a></body> </html>
