Hi, Thanks for the idea, i gave it a shot and it does not seem to be of any help. I was under the impresion that service escalations were for taking the nag out of nagios by curbing its tendency to spam admins with notifications for large networks, or for specific services. More specifically, if say i don't address a critical state because it's not important to me, i don't want to get hourly notifications. I want a reminder after say three hours, maybe another after another three hours, and then i want all subsequent reminders to take longer and longer. Now i set this up last time with nagios 2, and had zero issues. I'm wondering if something has changed in nagios 3, or if there is some essential step i'm forgetting/missing. If this continues not working, i'll just have to try host escalations, and see if i can do anything with those. Thanks, Bruce
