Multiple contactgroups for a host through groups or templates

[Guy Waugh]

Hi all,

I'm seeking a way to be able to associate a contactgroup with a server, in
addition to the contactgroups that are already associated with the server
through a hosttemplate, such that if the host goes down, both contactgroups
are notified. As I outlined in a post to this list a couple of days ago,
I've been trying to do it by associating the host with a second hosttemplate
that has the contactgroup associated with it, but only the contactgroup
associated with the first hosttemplate in the list is notified if the host
goes down.

For example:

define host {
   host_name   doris
   use     oncall-host,unix-host
   register 1
}

define host {
   host_name   oncall-host
   contact_groups   oncall-primary
   register 0
}

define host {
   host_name   unix-host
   contact_groups   +unix-admin
   register 0
}

When doris goes down, only the 'oncall-primary' contactgroup is notified,
not 'unix-admin'.

Short of manually associating the contactgroup with the host, can anyone
suggest a way I might achieve my desired configuration using groups or
templates?

Thanks,
Guy.
