nagios notification to different email address

[shadih rahman]

My problem,

     I am trying to send a down and recovery message to a different contact
group than what is defined in host definition.  Also I want to send only one
email to the new contact group.  In the example below host A has contact
group C defined.  However I want send my notification to contact group D.
Thanks



    I have a host definiton like

define host {
        host_name               A
        hostgroups             X
        alias                   A
        address               A
        contact_groups          C
        check_period            24x7
        check_interval          15
        retry_interval          3
        max_check_attempts      3
        notification_period     extended
        notification_interval   30
        notification_options    d,r,f
        notifications_enabled   1
        check_command           check-host-alive
}


I have a host escalation definition


define hostescalation{
    hostgroup_name        X
    contact_groups         D
    first_notification     -1
    last_notification      1
    notification_interval  0
    escalation_period      24x7
    escalation_options     d,r
}
