Hi - can someone confirm if the following scenario regards service escalations is correct?

I have a service check that simply performs a TCP check, if it fails it will email the contact with a defined notification_interval of 5mins.

I also have a serviceescalation defined as follows:

define serviceescalation{
        hostgroup_name          desktopsnahisservers
        service_description     DESKTOP SNA SERVICE TCP 4097
        first_notification      3
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   5
        contacts                me_at_home
        }

If the TCP check continues to fail the service escalation contact starts to get alerts but the actual contact for the defined service doesn't.

Is this behaviour to be expected?

As a solution I've simply added the defined service contact to also be a contact under the serviceescalation section as well.

I'm running Nagios 3.4.3.

Thanks - Julian.

Escalations are added and expand the capability of notifications , when the escalation logics is activated the normal notification logic is "suspended" and the escalation is the way nagios is processing the alerts.

So if after the 3rd alert only the escalation alert is received - then the logic is working as it should .
