there,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=102270411-04042003>We've
been using (testing...) nagios for some weeks now, and we encountered
several problems regarding notification destinations and mapping between hosts
and contact-groups. Our problem is that administrators are not Service- but
OS-specific; in the first place, these are windows or linux administrators. So,
windows administrators are responsible for all services on windows boxes, as
linux administrators are responsible for all kinds of problems with linux-boxes
(and their services). But both on windows and linux servers there are equal
services, smtp for example. In our current nagios configuration, we have to
define contact groups for services, so that we have different services for
different operating systems at the moment (smtp-linux and smtp-windows). My
suggestion would be to implement the "contact_groups" directive in host object
definitions, and to notify those contact-groups of service-related events if
there are no contacts specified in the correspondent service definition. As I
think this is not implemented at the moment, this mail should probably go
to nagios-devel mailing list, but for some reason it seems obvious that other
nagios-users should have the same problems. If anybody has a working solution or
workaround for this problem, i would be glad to receive any
response.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
