Hi Justin, you are not the first person asking this :-) In short: For Nagios 2.x it is as you say and the only way is to use templates to ease the configuration. For Nagios 3 the contacts for the services are inherited from the host.
> More service templates ease the coding a bit, > Depending on how strict the separation between the departments is consider splitting up your configuration in directories, one for each department. This can help to build a hierarchical configuration tree. hth, Ingo -- Ingo Lantschner Vienna/Austria Mob (+43-664) 143 84 18 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
