Hi list! I am currently integrating Skype into our monitoring to provide SMS notifications. It's working pretty fine and if you're interested you can check out my documentation in the Nagios wiki [1].
However, I had one tiny problem with the configuration that I would like to sort out if possible. The problem is: When the HTTPs are down for more than 20 minutes I want to be notified by SMS, but I still want to use the regular mail notifications (currently set to occur after I believe 3 Minutes). My solution to this was to duplicate the service definitions for HTTP to provide different check intervals / max check attempts (coming out at 10 minutes and 20 minutes respectively) and contact groups / contacts (the contacts in the first group use mail notifications, the contacts in the second group use SMS notifications, but are essentially the same users as in the first group, just duplicated). Have a look at the wiki page if this description is unclear. So, in essence my question is if there is any way to tell Nagios to "switch" to a different notification command after a certain downtime or any other way to avoid this duplication.
