Delayed notification to a second contact

[Shax420]

Hello dear forum members,

I'm having an issue and dunno if anyone can help me solve this.

Let's take a service for example. Let's say I want the main admin to get

a notification immediately when there is a non-OK hard state for Memory Load. This same notification

I wanna send it with a delay of 2 hours (1-5 minutes while testing it) to a second contact.

Picture this scenario. Main admin's inbox get's a notification. If the main admin

doesn't acknowledge the problem (which would cancel out a first_delay_notification), a second notification is sent

to another contact. The main admin won't receive more than 1 notification and i have disabled notification intervals.

I've tried doing this with 2 service templates pointing to different contact groups, one with first_notification_delay for 120 the other 0.

But the template hierarchy messes things up and only 1 mail is sent, the delayed notification never gets sent.

Would appreciate any help solving this issues. Take care, one love !

What you need are service/host escalations, please view these pages as they will show you what definitions you need to add to your .cfg files, and how to use them:
