Dennis -
Thank you so much for your response. Can I use a mix of both
individuals and contact groups when defining who should be contacted
if a problem occurs?

Hi Layne,
regarding the config you can configure contacts in stead of complete
groups, but the keyword is contacts not contact as in your example :-)
contacts: This is a list of the short names of the contacts that
should be notified whenever there are problems (or recoveries) with
this host. Multiple contacts should be separated by commas. Useful if
you want notifications to go to just a few people and don't want to
configure contact groups. You must specify at least one contact or
contact group in each host definition.

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
}
Thank you,
