Apologies if this has been covered, as I haven't followed this thread from the beginning... But wouldn't it work to define two contacts, each with the correct *_notification_period for that method, and add them both to each service? Might need a contactgroup or two in there, but I'd think it would work? Ie: define contact{ contact_name bob-at-home . . service_notification_period non-workhours service_notification_command just-email-me . . } define contact{ contact_name bob-at-work . . service_notification_period workhours service_notification_command page-the-hell-out-of-me . . } define contactgroup{ contactgroup_name split-notifications alias People who get emailed at home, paged at work members bob-at-home,bob-at-work } Benny -- "As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell." - Unknown ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
