You've got it backwards below. In the original email, you wanted only warnings to go to email and warnings and critical alerts to go the 'pager' address. Remove the 'c' from the service notification options for the email config and add a 'w' for the paging config.

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.
