Regarding escalation

Hi ,
1) If I create "Service escalation" --> with specific Host group , and add all available services .
Will Nagios escalate 'only' to the services available in Host group which I added (or) for all services ?
2) If I create "Host escalation" --> with specific Host group , will nagios escalate to all the services available under the host group hosts which added ?
Kindly clarify.
Thanks,

How are you adding services - by selecting all of them or by using the asterisk ("*")? If you used the "*", nagios will add all of the services of the hosts, members of your hostgroup.
2) If I create "Host escalation" --> with specific Host group , will nagios escalate to all the services available under the host group hosts which added ?
No. Host escalations are used to escalate notifications for a particular host, not its services.

Please find the attached screenshot of the "Service Escalation" which I configured.
Service escalation :
Host group : linux-servers
Manage services : *
This service escalation notifies 'only' to the services available in the hosts from "linux-servers" host group. Other host group services alerts are not escalated.
Kindly confirm this is the correct behavior of "Service Escalation"

This looks correct with the exception of the two asterisks. I am not sure why you have two - I have one only on my test box. What is the version of the Nagios XI that you are currently running?
Your config should look something like this:
Code: Select all
define serviceescalation {
# config_name Linux services escalation
hostgroup_name linux-servers
service_description *
contacts umesh.su
...
}
If you opened up the "/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache" file in a text editor and searched for "serviceescalation", you would see ALL of the services have have been "escalated".
Note: The "objects.cache" could be in a different location if you are using ram disk.

I too had the same results as lmiltchev = only one option to add * (Manage Services) and that option no longer exists upon selecting it, so not sure why two asterisks are seen in your screenshot.

We use Nagis XI 5.2.2 . I selected single asterisk . But after applying configuration it becomes two asterisks

That's odd. Could you post the output of the objects.cache file (define serviceescalation), as lmiltchev mentioned a couple of posts back?
