well, I have to admit I've *never* used any kind of escalations with Nagios :) At my previous work, there was always only one person on duty and the backup engineer was managed manually. Nevertheless, it's quite a nice trick, I really love Nagios3 and its almost-true inheritance, it made my config shrink by about 50% (and adding nodes to monitor is much easier than before, with automatic servicegroups, icons, etc.) -- seb ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
