Nagios Support Forum

I'm trying to setup an escalation similar to the following:

0min, 30min - contact group 1, contact group 2
60min, 90min - contact group1, contact group 2, contact group 3
120min - contact group 1, contact group 4
pause for 1 hour then restart

Not sure how I can either do this or do something close to it. Let me know. thanks.

We don't currently have a good Doc for XI on escalations. We'll have to add that to our TODO list. I'd start by looking at the Nagios Core documentation and see if that gets you pointed in the right direction. Let me know if this is helpful or not, and if it's not, we'll talk you through how to set it up in the Core Config Manager in XI. The settings are all the same, Nagios Core just uses text files instead of the form-based editor to control the settings.
