first of all, thanks for your feedback.

Yeah, i know that and use it to its max.
A typical escalation lookslike this at the moment:
define serviceescalation{
use esclevel1-17x5-sms
hostgroup_name foo_hosts
service_description Disk Space: /bar
}
define serviceescalation{
use esclevel2-17x5-voice
hostgroup_name foo_hosts
service_description Disk Space: /bar
}
define serviceescalation{
use esclevel3-17x5-voice
hostgroup_name foo_hosts
service_description Disk Space: /bar
}
Depending on how many escalation levels you have, the number of
escalations per service changes. So, at the moment, i have three
definitions per service nad hostgroup as a minimum. It would be nice to
be able to consolidate these settings to save a lot of copy and paste.
As a temporary solution, i build a script fetching all services for
hosts specified in a hosts-configfile and write the escalation files for
all services not found in a bypass file. But actually, i think this is
not the most elegant solution.
One more question: is it possible to negate specific services in an
escalation like i am able to negate host in hostgroups in Nagios 3?
Something like this:
define serviceescalation{
use esclevel3-17x5-voice
hostgroup_name foo_hosts
service_description *, ! Disk Space: /bar
}
