Moving "Critical" from HDesk1Lev. to HDesk2Lev.

Hello,

I would like to create a service configured as follows.

Step 1) Display on a monitor the critical service-related and hosts so that a first support helpdesk services can intervene.

Step 2) If the problem is not resolved within a set time, I would like to disappear (automatically) from view for the helpdesk first level of the critical signaling and show it instead to a second-level help desk.

It's possible to do it?

Thank you

If i'm understanding correctly, you could do this via the "Problems" page:

Escalations are probably a good way to handle that:

Though the "automated" part of it is much trickier. You might have to develop some sort of custom cron job to watch outstanding problems.

You might also look at multi-tenancy within Nagios Core. This is a pretty good presentation on the topic:

Hello,

as regards the need to have a video escalation, I used panorama view that allows you to create dashboards where it is possible to select, among other things, also the duration of the event. So I created two dashboard, the first with duration = <24h and the second with duration> = 24h. The passage of events from one dashboard is automatic.
Thanks for the link on Youtube, I found it very interesting and gave me many ideas that I will use in my work.

Thank you
