Can't add contact groups to host groups

[miroras]

Hi All.

running Core 4.0.8 on Ubuntu 14.04.

when trying to add a Contact_groups entry into a host_group object, m getting the following on validation:

Error: Invalid hostgroup object directive 'contact_groups'.

Any idea?

contact_groups cannot be added to a Host Group. These are the only allowed directives:

What is it that you are trying to achieve?

Thanks for the replay!

well, we work in Scrum and i want a specific team to get alerts to all their reousrces which are gathered under a host_group.

right now my work around is to set a contact_group to each machine which look like a waste of time considering the fact that i have a "host_group" with all their machines...

thanks.

I would look at using Host and Service Escalations.
