Hi, I am currently running Nagios 2 (2.5-1~bpo.1 from backports) on a Debian Sarge server. It has about 400 hosts and 1.500 services, with service check latency averaging on 9.6 seconds. I am trying to update my setup, but I am not sure if I have the best possible solution. What I need is this:
If a service gets critical, a notification must be send out immediatelly
to the contactgroupmembers of "Group A". A second notification for that
critical service should be send to "Group B" 5 minutes after the service
has become critical. Group A, should receive a new notification every 30
minutes the problem persists. Group B should receive a new notification
every 15 minutes the problem persists. Additionally, Group B should only
be bothered during a specific time period.
In an attempt to accomplish this I came up with the following:
define service {
[...]
notification_interval 600
}
define serviceescalation {
[...]
first_notification 1
last_notification 0
notification_interval 1800
contact_groups group_a
}
define serviceescalation {
[...]
first_notification 2
last_notification 0
notification_interval 900
contact_groups group_b
}
The last requirement, Group B receiving notifications only at certain
times, can be met in several ways. One way would be by adding the option
escalation_period to the above serviceescalation and another way would
by limiting service_notification_period for each of the members of
Group B. Would there be performance-wise a preference for one of these
solutions?
The reason I am asking is that, basically, I only want notifications
every 15 minutes (*but* for the first notification one of the groups
should have a 5 minute delay). I currently have a notification interval
in the service definition of 1800. Would there, considering the amount
of services that are being checked, a potential performance problem?
