Good afternoon folks! I'm having a bit of an issue with creating different sets of escalations for different services in Nagios Core 3.0.6 on RHEL 5.7. I have a globally defined set of escalations:
Code: Select all
# This is for notification escalations
define serviceescalation{
host_name *
service_description *
contact_groups everyone-group
first_notification 4
last_notification 0
notification_interval 5
}
define hostescalation{
host_name *
contact_groups everyone-group
first_notification 4
last_notification 0
notification_interval 5
}
That is supposed to take over on the 4th notification for a check if the first level guys don't acknowledge things. There are certain checks, though, that I want to *only* ever email a certain group, regardless of if it gets acknowledged. These are normally checks for things like disk space. I've created a service escalation definition that matches based on multiple service_description variables...but it doesn't seem to be working. Here's the more specific entry:
Code: Select all
define serviceescalation{
host_name DBLOG001
service_description Disk Usage for C - Email,Disk Usage for T - Email,Disk Usage for V - Email
contact_groups email-only-group
first_notification 4
last_notification 0
notification_interval 15
}
I know that you can match on multiple service_descriptions within a single definition (
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... ricks.html), and I've seen service_description match on entries that have whitespace (Disk Usage for C - Email), but I have not tried both before in the same escalation definition before, and it doesn't appear to be working. I cannot find any documentation on if this is supported or not. Has anyone gotten something like this to work before? Do I need to put the service_description variables in quotes, or am I just going to need to make separate service escalation definitions for each individual service_description that I want to match? I don't have a box that I can toy with, so I figured I'd ask around and see if anyone has run across this before. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Mike
