Hi all, I'm quite newbe to nagios, and I'm trying to configure notifications for services according to host contacts. I mean, I would like to configure contacts (or contact groups) only in the hosts definitions, and then when a monitorized service at that host has a hard state change, the notification gets send to the contact configured at the host definition.
My problem is that I've got one hostgroup which has all hosts related to it. The services are configured for that hostgroup (all the hosts run the same services), this way I'm monitoring the same services in all hosts. But according to [1], I've to configure a contact or a contactgroup at least for the service, and here comes my problem. I would like not to share the same contacts for the same service in the different hosts, I would like to configure different contacts for the same service in different hosts. The contact should be the same configured in the host definition, so my question is if its possible to configure nagios to send service notification at destinations configured at hosts definition instead of service definition. I've read almost all the docs from [2]. But I didn't found a easy way to achieve it. The only solution that comes to my mind is to create a template for each service and then create a service for each host that inherits from the template and has the same contact of the host, but this is hard to achieve as I may have hundreds of hosts.
