Hi Keith, Escalations are your friend.

We would like notifications for host and service problems for all servers to be sent to the IT team. In addition, we would like host and service problems for servers in Group A to go to the group A manager, host and service problems for Group B to go to the group B manager, and so on. We tend to manage host notification via host groups, and service notifications via service groups. We really want to manage service notifications on a host group basis, so if Apache fails on a group A machine, we notify the IT team and the Group A manager. I'm looking for ideas for implementing that in a manageable and scalable way. If I've not described the problem clearly enough, I apologise: please ask questions for clarity.
