Hi List,

I'm having two problems with Nagios 3.0. The first is with
first_notification_delay. Here's my host definition:

define host {
        active_checks_enabled           1
        check_command                   check_host_alive
        check_freshness                 0
        check_period                    24x7
        contact_groups                  trouble_queue_24x7
        event_handler_enabled           0
        first_notification_delay        8
        flap_detection_enabled          0
        host_name                       foo
        hostgroups                      freebsd_servers, unix_servers
        max_check_attempts              3
        notification_interval           8
        notification_options            d,r
        notification_period             24x7
        notifications_enabled           1
        parents                         foo-router
        passive_checks_enabled          0
        process_perf_data               0
        register                        0
        retain_nonstatus_information    0
        retain_status_information       1
}

Here is the log:

[1207252682] HOST ALERT: foo;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100%
[1207252752] HOST ALERT: foo;DOWN;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100%
[1207252822] HOST ALERT: foo;DOWN;HARD;3;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100%
[1207252852] HOST NOTIFICATION: 
trouble_queue_24x7;foo;DOWN;host_notify_by_email;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 
100%

If it decides that foo is down at 14:00:22, why does the notification
go out 30 seconds later? Am I misunderstanding something really
basic about first_notification_delay?

My second problem is with host escalations. If I define my host
escalation with a contact group:

define hostescalation {
        contact_groups          on_call_pager
        escalation_options      d,r
        escalation_period       weekdays_7am_to_6pm
        first_notification      2
        hostgroup_name          unix_servers
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   0
}

That works as expected. If I use contacts instead of contact_groups,
escalations go to the contact specified /as well as/ the original
contact_group for the host. So, using the host definition and host
escalation above, if I use contacts, the escalation will go to
trouble_queue_24x7 and on_call_pager. If I use contact_groups, the
escalation will only go to on_call_pager. Is this expected behavior?
I assumed nagios would discard any previously defined contacts
and/or contact_groups in favor of what the host escalation specifies.
