Monitoring in different time periods

[Seth Simmons]

I understand the first part about adding all to the same contact groups.
The second part I can't see how they would have their own hours, unless
I have a separate service defined?  For example if I have this (below)
what line(s) would I need to add/modify?  I'm thinking I would have to
have a different service defined for each check/notification period?

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       servername
        service_description             Free Space on /
	is_volatile			0
	check_period			24x7
	max_check_attempts		2
	normal_check_interval		3
	retry_check_interval		5
	contact_groups			admins
	notification_interval		30
	notification_period		24x7
	notification_options		u,r
	check_command			check_nrpe!check_root
        }

Hi,

You can simply add both India and non-India users to the same contact
groups you're currently using. India team will have their notification
timeperiod set to their working hours whereas the other team would have
the remaining hours as their notification timeperiod.
