service / host contact_groups Additive Inheritance

[mail at catsnest.co.uk]

Hi All,

I have a questions about "Additive Inheritance"

I have a service that inherits is contact_groups from its host, for this
one service I wants to add an additional contact_group(s) but i seem to be
having an issue with my understanding of Additive Inheritance


an example of the config is

define host {
...
use    generic-host

}

define service {
...
 contact_groups  +extra_group
}


so without adding the contact_groups to the service, its contacts are
'contact_group1' and 'contact_group2'

When adding the contact_groups to the service (with or without the +), its
contact groups are are just  'extra_group'

if there is a 'contacts' defined for the host the services:
When adding the contact_groups to the service (with or without the +), contacts
end up being 'contact1', 'extra_group'


Should the + or "Additive Inheritance" not make the service have
'contact_group1'
, 'contact_group2' and 'extra_group'?
