Hi, I think I've found a bug in Nagios 3.0.2 with the contact_groups (and contacts) directive in service escalations. I have a contact group called "NetServe Support" which all my support personnel are a member of. In all other definitions (services, hosts etc), the following line works:
contact_groups NetServe Support But with a service escalation, it tries to expand that into two separate groups "NetServe" and "Support" despite the documentation saying that multiple groups should be separated by commas. Service escalation definition: define serviceescalation { # host_name * hostgroup_name All Servers service_description * first_notification 3 last_notification 0 notification_interval 1800 contact_groups NetServe Support } Errors on config verification: Error: Contact group 'Support' specified in service escalation for service '<service>' on host '<host>' is not defined anywhere! Error: Contact group 'NetServe' specified in service escalation for service '<service>' on host '<host>' is not defined anywhere! The following host escalation works, and produces no errors: define hostescalation { hostgroup_name All Servers first_notification 3 last_notification 0 notification_interval 1800 contact_groups NetServe Support } Also, with both host and service escalations, a contact called "Andy Shellam" also produces the above errors (trying to find 2 contacts called "Andy" and "Shellam".) For all of the above, the documentation says "Multiple contacts (groups) should be separated by commas". Can someone verify this bug report with the following version?

Quoting the directives doesn't help either - e.g (contacts "Andy Shellam") ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
