[Nagios-devel] service definitions

Post by Guest »

i'm curious why service definitions require contact groups. for example:

define service{
use basic-service
host *
service_description SERVICE
check_command check-host-alive
}

let's assume the "basic-service" definition i use has all required
directives except "contact_groups".

if a SERVICE goes down on a host, shouldn't nagios see that:

. that host is part of a host group
. that host group has a contact group
. that contact group has a contact
. that contact should receive mail if SERVICE on that host goes down

if i have 20 contracts, each with a different contract email address, my
global service check that should save me time isn't so cool anymore. am i
missing something here?
