Nagios 2.9 and Escalations.

[Steven Haigh]

Hi all,

I'm currently upgrading our Nagios monitoring system from v1.1 to v2.9
and I notice that the hostgroupescalation functions that we were
previously using no longer exist in v2.9.

I've read through the docs of serviceescalation and hostescalation and
there's one thing that remains unclear to me. If a hostescalation is
defined, does this ONLY activate when the host check fails (ie
check-host-alive) or if any of the services on the host fails?

If it's only triggered on the check-host-alive failing, is there an easy
way (ie a wildcard or similar) to activate escalation based on ALL
services for a host? Does this require a serviceescalation definition
for EVERY service on a host? I sure hope not!

Regards,
Steven Haigh
