Hello guru's!

i am trying to fiugure out something but i can't find a solution or a way to do it. so i am asking your help.

i already have a infra in place, monitored by nagios, with different schedules and different notification methods. production are monitored 7/24, alerting 7/24 via email and SMS thats fine. i have DEV servers, monitored 7/24, alerting via work hours only via email and sms.

what i want to achieve is to get DEV servers, send email 7/24 regardless and keep SMS only workhours. or the other way, i want email sent regardless of shchedules and notification period.

i dont think this is doable... does some of you have a thoughts on the subjects, would be appreciated.

p.s. i am using nagios core 3.5.1

best regards friends.

If you have multiple contacts like jdoe and jdoe_sms you could use multiple host/service escalations that would observe the timeperiods.

You can read more about them here:

thanks for the information! i finaly managed to just remove all non critical from pager instead. and keep non critical email only. this work perfect for me!

i have another question tho. what is the difference between core 3 and core 4 ? interface is exactly the same, is there a version history i can read somewhere?
