notification_options by timeperiod

[Max]

Another way to do this is to have the service notify to a dummy
contact by default that has a 'do nothing' notification command (e.g.
/bin/true) and then use escalations to trigger real alerts; each
escalation can then have a custom time period, contact, etc.

We use this as our primary means of triggering notifications as we
have a large group of shared services (service -> hostgroup -> hosts)
and the hosts are in different projects with different contacts so the
service can't have a real notification contact that makes sense .. by
triggering all of our notifications through escalations we can then
easily control which group gets notified for which (service,hostgroup,
host) tuple and control time period and contact on a project by
project basis.

define service {
    ...
    check_period                24x7
    max_check_attempts          3
    normal_check_interval       5
    retry_check_interval        5
    contact_groups              no-one
    notifications_enabled       1
    notification_options        a
    notification_interval       5
    notification_period         24x7
    ...
}

define serviceescalation {
    name                    project-base-svc
    hostgroup_name          project-hostgroup
    contact_groups          project-notify-group
    first_notification      1     ; notify right away (1st notification)
    last_notification       0     ; notify until service changes state
    notification_interval   240   ; default to 4 hour re-notify
    escalation_period       24x7
    register                0
}

define serviceescalation {
    use                     project-base-svc
    service_description     My custom service
    escalation_options      c
}

define serviceescalation {
    use                     project-base-svc
    service_description     My custom service
    escalation_options      w
    escalation_period        workhours-only
}
