Hey Mike, If there is a matching escalation definition that will take precedence over the service definition. In cases where you have conflicting notification_interval values that are all valid, Nagios will use the smallest interval. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/escalations.html Regards Martin Melin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
