escalations for large shop

[David Schlecht]

Hi list



Does notification escalation scale well to large shops? 

>From the docs it appears that each host/service pair must 

have its own record in the serviceEscalations.cfg file. I see 

no support for host groups.



If I have to enter and maintain many hundreds of host/service

pairs in the config file, I need a raise!



Has anyone with a large shop been successful at this?



According to the docs, HOST escalation definitions have a

hostgroup_name field which allows multiple host groups, but

this field is optional and the host_name field is required.

Is it possible that if hostgroup_name is defined, then the

host_name field can be skipped? They seem mutually exclusive.



Allowing host groups for services would be real nice, too.



I'm using Nagios v2.0b4.
