I'm wondering if I'm missing something or thinking about this
incorrectly. I have some hosts that have services and their contact
groups already defined like so:
define service{
use generic-service
host_name vader
service_description NTP
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups oncall,ulsysadmins,dba
notification_interval 5
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_ntp
}
I also have an escalation for this service:
define serviceescalation{
host_name vader
service_description NTP
first_notification 2
last_notification 2
notification_interval 5
contact_groups oncall
}
define serviceescalation{
host_name vader
service_description NTP
first_notification 3
last_notification 4
notification_interval 5
contact_groups oncall,backup
}
define serviceescalation{
host_name vader
service_description NTP
first_notification 5
last_notification 0
notification_interval 0
contact_groups oncall,backup
}
What I'm wondering is if I can add another contact for this service
that gets notified after 30 minutes, but only gets notified once.
Ideally I would like to be able to do this as easily as possible and
for an entire group of servers and for multiple services, if possible.
We are migrating from big brother and while big brother is not nearly
as complex and functional as Nagios, it can be done in big brother
with probably one line. Am I missing something though? Can a service
be defined twice? Or can I define it in an escalation that includes
the entire hostgroup that I want? Thanks in advance.
