The easiest way to handle it in Nagios 3 would probably be to have a service template set up that adds the SQL admins as a contact, and then use something like "use sql_service" to include that template for any services you want that group notified on (assuming there is a standard set of notification recipients that also receive them. An alternative would be to add that group to each service, as you mentioned. Neither of those has changed substantially since Nagios was first called Nagios, as far as I know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
