hosts.config

[Layne Meier]

I have a question for anyone that can answer this for me.  From the  
documentation, in configuring a host, this is the example given:

define host{
	host_name			bogus-router
	alias				Bogus Router #1
	address				192.168.1.254
	parents				server-backbone
	check_command			check-host-alive
	max_check_attempts		5
	check_period			24x7
	process_perf_data		0
	retain_nonstatus_information	0
	contact_groups			router-admins
	notification_interval		30
	notification_period		24x7
	notification_options		d,u,r
	}
In place of the contact_groups as being defined as router-admins, can  
you put the name of an actual person there (from the contacts.cfg) ie;
define host{
	host_name			bogus-router
	alias				Bogus Router #1
	address				192.168.1.254
	parents				server-backbone
	check_command			check-host-alive
	max_check_attempts		5
	check_period			24x7
	process_perf_data		0
	retain_nonstatus_information	0
	contact_groups			lmeier
	notification_interval		30
	notification_period		24x7
	notification_options		d,u,r
	}
Or is there a different command that needs to go there:
define host{
	host_name			bogus-router
	alias				Bogus Router #1
	address				192.168.1.254
	parents				server-backbone
	check_command			check-host-alive
	max_check_attempts		5
	check_period			24x7
	process_perf_data		0
	retain_nonstatus_information	0
	contact				lmeier
	notification_interval		30
	notification_period		24x7
	notification_options		d,u,r
	}


Thank you,
