[Nagios-devel] some feature requests

Post by Guest »

Hi,

I have some feature requests for nagios:

- set contactgroups on host basis for services. So that if no contact is
set for a service check the host contact group is used. That would make
configuration a lot easier.

- It would be nice if it would be possible to categorise the criticality
of services and hosts. E.g. critical / uncritical / unimportant. So that
the operating could easily decide if they have to call somebody during
midnight or if the problem can wait till the next morning.
I know this could also be done by host and servicegroups, but it would
be nicer to have this as a parameter. Depending on the category the
host/service could be highlighted with different colours in the
web-frontend.

define host {
host_name HOST1
address ....
use generic-host
criticality high
contact_groups MR_X
}

define host {
host_name HOST2
address ....
use generic-host
criticality low
contact_groups MRS_Y
}

define service {
service_description MY_SERVICE
host_name HOST1, HOST2
# inherit criticality and contact_group from host
}

regards,

Volker
