Hi we are integrating nagios in our company. we have nearly 3 dozens of servers and several hundred clients. We are 15 admins split in 3 groups. Our internal organisation is split in functions, eg. somebody cares for the mail stuff, another one cares for the web servers and so on.
>From what I've seen while configuring contacts, contact groups, services and service groups and timeperiods there are a few limitations that from our point of view gave a bit of a headache. We tried to map our organisation to somehow fit into Nagios: - contact groups cannot be grouped. This would be great. Because the boss of such an organisational unit could then see all tests that belong to his OU. - a contact cannot be associated with more than 1 time period. Thus, I cannot be advertised from 0900 - 1700 by email (as I am in the office all day) and from 1700 - 0900 by sms unless I configure another contact for myself. - service groups cannot be associated with contact groups and vice versa. this would be very nice if serveral services are grouped then the service group could be associated with the contact group. - and finally theres a bug in the Nagios 2.6 (Debian Etch Stable) documentation regarding contacts: A contact must have an email address. The nagios documentation states otherwise.
