Apparently wilcards for the names of services can be used [1] although I
am not sure if also it is possible to be done for the hostnames. Will
wildcards (or .*) be valid with Nagios 3.0.6?
These are the definitions that I was thinking to use:
define hostescalation{
host_name *
first_notification 1
last_notification 3
escalation_period none
notification_interval 60
contact_groups admins
}
define hostescalation{
host_name *
first_notification 4
last_notification 0
escalation_period none
notification_interval 60
contact_groups admins
}
define serviceescalation{
hostgroup_name
linux-servers,solaris-servers,windows-servers
service_description *
first_notification 1
last_notification 3
notification_interval 60
contact_groups admins
}
define serviceescalation{
hostgroup_name
linux-servers,solaris-servers,windows-servers
service_description *
first_notification 4
last_notification 0
escalation_period none
notification_interval 60
contact_groups admins
}

Daniel
