I have a question for anyone that can answer this for me. From the documentation, in configuring a host, this is the example given:

define host{
        host_name                       bogus-router
        alias                           Bogus Router #1
        address                         192.168.1.254
        parents                         server-backbone
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts              5
        check_period                    24x7
        process_perf_data               0
        retain_nonstatus_information    0
        contact_groups                  router-admins
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            d,u,r
        }
In place of the contact_groups as being defined as router-admins, can you put the name of an actual person there (from the contacts.cfg) ie;
define host{
        host_name                       bogus-router
        alias                           Bogus Router #1
        address                         192.168.1.254
        parents                         server-backbone
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts              5
        check_period                    24x7
        process_perf_data               0
        retain_nonstatus_information    0
        contact_groups                  lmeier
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            d,u,r
        }
Or is there a different command that needs to go there:
define host{
        host_name                       bogus-router
        alias                           Bogus Router #1
        address                         192.168.1.254
        parents                         server-backbone
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts              5
        check_period                    24x7
        process_perf_data               0
        retain_nonstatus_information    0
        contact                         lmeier
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            d,u,r
        }
