Re: [Nagios-users] define service with multiple contactgroups
Purpose of both the services are essentially the same but they come with Nagios
installation because they have defined these configurations for windows as well
as linux users.
You must use only one of them depending on the OS being used.

I've recently taken over our Nagios config so am still learning, but we seem to
do something similar using two services, they just have the same description.
You can't tell there are two services when looking at the alerts or web pages.
(example syntax below, probably full or errors)
define service{
service_description Load
use tpl-service-standard
servicegroupssgrp-check-standard
check_commandcheck_nrpe!check_load
hostgroup_name win-hosts
contactgroupwin-admins
}
define service{
service_description Load
use tpl-service-standard
servicegroupssgrp-check-standard
check_commandcheck_nrpe!check_load
hostgroup_name unix-hosts
contactgroupunix-admins
}

Re: [Nagios-users] Issue in configuring Nagios Appender
Thanks Again. It helped. Now, I am stuck with following exception - Received invalid packet type/version from client - possibly due to client using wrong password or crypto algorithm?
