Your interpretation will not work AFAIK. The post you reference is about limiting the maximum number of notifications sent to a contact. Your original question appears to be asking about how to send all notifications to 'an email address'. They appear to be opposite problem statements. Please restate your question, being as clear as you can about what you're trying to accomplish. For example, does 'all notifications' mean all notifications nagios would normally send for a specific service or a notification for every single non-OK service check? Does it mean all notifications for any host or service should all go to an arbitrary e-mail address? Does 'to an e-mail address' mean to a defined contact who is already in a contactgroup for that service or some other address? On the face of it, it seems to me you might just need to define a new contact and associate them with the host/service they should receive notifications about. P.S. I don't use escalations so be sure to respond to the list so that you expose your question to people who are more familiar with them, should escalations end up being what you need. -- Marc -- Come build with us!

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios notification to different email address
My problem,
I am trying to send a down and recovery message to a different contact
group than what is defined in host definition. Also I want to send only one
email to the new contact group. In the example below host A has contact
group C defined. However I want send my notification to contact group D.
Thanks
I have a host definiton like
define host {
host_name A
hostgroups X
alias A
address A
contact_groups C
check_period24x7
check_interval 15
retry_interval 3
max_check_attempts 3
notification_period extended
notification_interval 30
notification_optionsd,r,f
notifications_enabled 1
check_command check-host-alive
}
I have a host escalation definition
define hostescalation{
hostgroup_nameX
contact_groups D
first_notification -1
last_notification 1
notification_interval 0
escalation_period 24x7
escalation_options d,r
}

Unfortunately, I do not know of any way to send notifications to to a group without defining the host to send notifications to that group. I'd lean towards fixing the script so that it writes configurations to contact the correct group, rather than having it write incorrect configs and then tweaking Nagios to compensate. Perhaps you could accomplish this by defining an escalation which skips the first notification to group C, and then sends only one notification to group D. Does your script generate the escalation configs also? -- Mike Saldivar Direct Financial Solutions Information Systems Manager Desk: 435-774-8252 Cell: 435-881-3778 -- Come build with us!
