Does the contact_groups section support inheritance or is that a version 3.0 feature?
The problem with using a template (at least for us) is that we have a lot of machines that have very specialized contact groups. Like 1-2 people for this host, 1 person for that host, etc. For that, I build a small contact group in to each host that requires it (e.g. cg_hostname) and then enter the people in there. I'm not too fond of doing that, so if I could have the contact_groups in the template *merge* with the contact_group in the host/service that would be great. Or perhaps even allow individual contacts on hosts and services? Thanks for the suggestion. Sean On Fri, 23 Feb 2007, Jim Avery wrote: > There are lots of options.
