Nagios Email Notifcations for Shared Services

Hi Guys,

I have a service for E: drive disk space check. I have multiple hosts under that service check. I use a service template that sends emails alerts to the sys admin team. Is it possible to setup email notifications to send to the sys admin team and another email list based on a specific host the way that I have it currently setup, or do I need to create a separate unique E: drive checks for specifics hosts?

A little more clarification on what I'm trying to accomplish
  • ex. I have host A in this E: drive service check, among other hosts, and I want emails to be sent to both sysadmin team and host A team. Host A team should ONLY be getting email notifications for Host A alerts, while sysadmin gets everything.
I apologize if i'm being a bit unclear. The way my Nagios environment is setup is a bit confusing.

Thanks for any input!

Hello,
ex. I have host A in this E: drive service check, among other hosts, and I want emails to be sent to both sysadmin team and host A team. Host A team should ONLY be getting email notifications for Host A alerts, while sysadmin gets everything.
Since you are attaching multiple hosts to a service check. If you set a contact/contact group to that service, then all of those E: drive services in every host would have the assigned contacts for that service.
You would add the sysadmin to this service check that has many hosts, that way they can get every notification under multiple hosts for this service.

I would create a separate check for the E: drive that only has Host A and then assign it to the specific Host A contact/contact group. That way, only they get notifications for that Host and not others hosts.

Let me know if you have any more questions or if this isn't clear enough.
