notification commands based on hosts or services

[Mike Culbertson]

I have been all through the docs, but I can't determine a reasonable way to 
do this:

I need to specify the type of notification based on what host or service 
has a problem.

For example, contact "Joe" has notification options of "notify-by- 
email,notify-by-epager".  Joe needs to be contacted about status changes on 
all "dev" and "test" machines, but only needs email about "dev" machines, 
and should not be paged.

Contact groups become irrelevant here because the type of notification to 
make is specified in the contact definition. So even if I play around with 
contact groups and timeperiods, when an alert is sent to Joe, it goes via 
email and epager.

How could I restrict the notification type based on what 
service/host/hostgroup it is coming from without having to make unique 
contact entries for each (person+type of notification) they use?


I think this makes sense, but I've had a LOT of coffee :)

TIA
