Hi=20

I have a question regarding acknowledgment of service failures. We have ser=
vice desk employees that monitor service failures and delegate service call=
s to technicians. The standard way we have is to acknowledge a problem as s=
oon as someone is working on it. We would like to see different (customizab=
le?) acknowledgment levels.=20

Simple flow would be:=20
1. Service state becoming hard (critical/warning)=20
2. Service desk flags the service as "spotted" or "awaiting technician"=20
3. Service desk calls the relevant technician=20
4. As soon as the technician starts working on the problem he acknowledges =
the problem as "being worked on"=20

I would love to be able to create a list of different acknowledgement level=
s that staff can then set on a service.=20

Is this an idea that has been floated before, worked on?=20
Is there an acceptable way of implementing this if we get someone to work o=
n it? (I would like this included in the Nagios source, I hate maintaining =
patches for every upgrade).=20

- T=C3=B3mas Edwardsson=20
