Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications only to service contacts, not to host contacts?

 Hi,
 I have some services defined, that are just interesting for some  
 people,
 especially not for all contacts defined for the host. So the service  
 has a
 single contact defined.

Nagios expects this kind of notification granularity.

 Now the problem is, that the notifications are not only send to the  
 contact
 defined for this service, they are also send to the contacts  
 (contact_group)
 defined for the host this service is defined for.

Nagios will not do this unless you specifically configure it to do so.  
Nagios has been told that it should.

Are they service notifications or host notifications? Is there  
anything else unusual about the notifications or their content? What  
does nagios.log show related to these notifications?

 The contact_group is defined for this host in the host-template.

 define service{

contactscontact1
}

 define host{
use example-template
host_name   hostname.example.org
alias   example host
address hostname.example.org
hostgroups  example-hosts, check_zypper
}

 What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Who are the host contacts? Please post the entire host and service  
definitions, including the templates with the important bits. You  
might want to grab the definitions from objects.cache.

Thanks for the hint with the objects.cache.
The contact_group is defined in the template for the service.

so a 
define service {
...
contactscontact1
contact_groups  
}
unsets the value and I hope it will work now.

Thanks for helping :)
