I haven't made any changes to our escalation setup in a while but now it
suddenly stopped working. Basically, I want escalation on all hosts and
services except a few core ones.
Here is what I have:
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name no_escalation
alias no_escal
member <bunch of critical hosts listed here>
}
define hostescalation{
host_name *
hostgroup_name !no_escalation
first_notification 1
last_notification 1
notification_interval 5
contact_groups level-1-group
escalation_period escalation-hours
}
define serviceescalation{
service_description *
hostgroup_name *,!no_escalation
first_notification 1
last_notification 1
notification_interval 5
contact_groups level-1-group
escalation_period escalation-hours
}
This setup worked fine for a long time but today I just reloaded the
config and it barfs with:
Error: Could not expand services specified in service escalation (config
file '/etc/nagios3/escalation.cfg', starting on line 21)
Said line 21 is the start of the serviceesclation section. Again, this
worked fine for a while and I reloaded a few times without problems,
except today.
Could it be possible a that a newly added host or service somewhere
cause a problem with the globbing?
If anybody has any idea, help would be appreciated.
