I've run in to an issue with notifications and how they're handled and I'm not sure how to resolve it.

We're using hostgroups (based on system role) to manage common services. What I'm trying to do, is for a few of these common services, for specific hosts, I want escalations enabled.

In the Service Escalation, I've created a new one with specific hosts selected and specific services selected and I get notifications. The problem is that I get notifications for all the hosts running these services, not just the hosts I'm interested in. I expect that if I copy my common service to make a host specific service I can fix this issue but that defeats the purpose of my common services.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

In the CCM can you click the disk icon next to the escalation and send back the definition for the escalation that isn't working like so

Code: Select all

define serviceescalation {
	#	config_name	test escalation
		host_name                     		10.0.0.4
		service_description           		Drive C: Disk Usage
		first_notification            		4
		last_notification             		5
		notification_interval         		60
	}

feel free to change the hostnames for privacy but just want to make sure everything else looks correct
