Hi James, I think I understand it a little bit better. As far as numerical users, do you mean when a page is sent to a paging service, somehow, the user name is converted to, a numerical user that the paging service uses? That makes sense I guess because you have to have a phone number to call for the page.
As far as the notification tags, do these look correct, with what I'm trying to do? define contact{ # Email config ... host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s service_notification_options w,c,u,r,f,s host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email ... } And the other: define contact{ # Paging config ... host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s service_notification_options c,u,r,f,s host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email # host_notification_commands notify-host-by-pager # service_notification_commands notify-service-by-pager ... } Thanks for hanging in there with me! ----- Original Message ---- From: "jmose...@corp.xanadoo.com" <jmose...@corp.xanadoo.com> To: Grant Lowe <gl...@sbcglobal.net> Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2009 5:18:29 PM Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Elevated alerts In the 'email' contact config, you need all the service notification options: w,c,u,r,f,s This is because you want warning and critical alerts sent to email. In the 'paging' config, gid rid of the following lines: host_notification_commands notify-host-by-pager service_notification_commands notify-service-by-pager # Added pager line 01/09/2009 pager gl...@pager.company.com Then change the service notifications to: c,u,r,f,s The way you have it now, the paging contact will not get critical alerts. If your paging email address has a text username (glowe), you need to use the notify-by-email arguments. If the user is numerical, then yes, you can use the notify-by-pager commands. I mentioned this in my last email. I've never researched it, for I've found that if I have a non-numerical user in an email address and I use the notify-by-pager default CONTACTPAGER macro, the notification is not sent.
