To keep things simple, we define contacts in our host templates. This
means that adding a simple host is as simple as copying & pasting a short host
definition and changing the name. I'd like to do the same for escalations --
sending to the same people's cellphones via email, at least for now.
We definitely don't want to add a hostname to hostnameescalation &
serviceescalation definitions every time we add a host (in another file).
Is there any particular reason hosts can define contacts but not
escalations? This applies equally to services, of course.
For now, I will define hostgroups inside serviceescalation, but I'm not
sure how that will affect additional contacts (added with +user in individual
host & hostgroup definitions).
Alternatively, if there's a simple way to start with email
notifications and then automatically start pager notifications (for those
contacts with pager: defined) after an interval, that would work as well and be
even simpler. I don't see anything built in for deferring pages until a few
emails have gone unanswered, though.
Thanks!
