Well, I found this issue, and it was not related to nagios at all. I was looking in the wrong place. The issue stemmed from a Python module, and as it parsed the Nagios configuration, it did not recognize hostescalation and serviceescalation, which printed out the messages that we had in the Daily Status report that we were examining. So, it was not my configuration as I expected, and it was the supporting module that reported this.<div>

Have you tried removing the trailing commas from the contact attribute<br>
'members' for the two contactgroup defintions?<br>
