Service Template Inheritance With Contact Group Not notifyin

Post by tonyleatwork »

Hi -

I'm trying to take advantage of inheritance to save administration overhead but my configuration isn't working out as expected. What I want to happen is to use templates to manage notification groups and avoid individually specifying contacts per host.

What I did:
  • Created a service template and added generic-service as a base, and modified check period, interval, retry and max attempts. Everything else
    Added contact group to template
    Applied said template to hostgroup
Effect:

Hosts in hostgroup does have services checked and notifications are occurring in the log (probably to the default nagiosadmins group). Is this a possible configuration?

Thanks in advance

It might help if you posted the actual configs in use, sanitizing if needed.
