contacts question

[Roy Kidder]

I'm trying to wrap my head around how to set up contacts/notifications for
my instance of Nagios.

The entities I monitor, can be split into two categories: important (for
lack of a better term), non-important. For example, the core switch in my
network is important, whereas a router in a remote location (connected via
DSL) is non-important.

I have two time periods I care about, 24x7, and business hours (bhours).

I have the standard two email addresses: email and pager.

I want to set up notifications thusly:

critical alert + important element + 24x7 = page and email
critical alert + non-important element + bhours = page and email
critical alert + non-important element + non-bhours = email
warning alert + important element + 24x7 = email
warning alert + non-important element + 24x7 = email

and obviously, I'd like to avoid duplicat alerts. I'd also like to have as
few contact definitions per person as possible. Anyone have suggestions as
to the best approach for this?

Thanks in advance,
Roy
