I've set up nagios 2.0 with a number of hosts, hostgroups, services,
servicegroups and service escalations. However, I'm having trouble
working out how I can go about configuring some of these services so
that the notification/escalation pattern is different at different times.
For example, we have this service:
define service{
name
generic-template-library-high-priority-service
servicegroups weekday-high-priority-services
max_check_attempts 2
normal_check_interval 1
retry_check_interval 1
check_period libsys-operating-hours
notification_interval 2
notification_period libsys-operating-hours
notification_options w,u,c
contact_groups libsys-DEC
register 0
}
define service{
host_name jasper
service_description Check process [httpd]
check_command library_check_nrpe-check_procs_name!1:99!1:149!httpd
use generic-template-library-high-priority-service
}
The servicegroup that this service is a member of follows a particular
escalation pattern during our operating hours. However, on the weekend,
we'd like the notification/escalation pattern to be completely
different, as we don't want the person on call to be bombarded with text
messages if they can't get to a PC to acknowledge the service problem.
The number of services we want to monitor on the weekend is also much
smaller than during the week. I can't, at the moment, see any other way
to set up the notification schedule for on-call monitoring without
creating multiple copies of services marked as "Check process [httpd] -
weekday" and "Check process [httpd] - weekend" (for example).
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can set this up? If I could
just override notification timings in servicegroup descriptions, I think
this would be the answer, but I'm almost certain that isn't possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Guy
