I've just started rolling out escalations at one of my sites using Nagios. I'm not a big escalation buff though. I have a question that I couldn't answer via that docs.
Is there any other way of matching up a serviceescalation definition with a service definition other than the service_description value? I use that field for a verbose description of my services (not just SMTP, HTTP, etc). For example I use check_snmp_int to check the state of a serial interface on a router. The service_description field includes the circuit provider's name, circuit ID, support telephone #, and a description of the circuit. All that text is what's used to match the serviceescalation definition to the service definition. I don't know what else we could match on but I'm hopeful that there's something else.
