I haven't been able to find an answer to this conundrum looking at
the
docs, faq, or googling. I'd love to hear any suggestions.
We have two contact groups; group "adminmail" sends an email to our
mailboxes and "adminphone" sends email to our phones. The idea is
when a
"warning" notification happens, adminmail gets notified, and when a
"critical" notification happens adminphone gets notified.
As a test I set up two services that check disk. For the first one
I set:
notification_options w,r
contact_group adminmail
For the second service I set:
notification_options c
contact_group adminphone
This works, but it's kludgy. Is there a way to define one
contact_group
for a warning, and a different contact group for critical? We are
currently running v1.2(yes, old), but will be upgrading
eventually. I'd
like to know if there's a solution I can implement now; if we need
to
upgrade to get this functionality I'd like to know as well.
Thanks,
Neil

Just setup two contacts, one for adminmail that gets warnings, the
other for adminphone that gets crits. Add them to the same
contract_group, then add that contact group to your service check.
This style/syntax hasn't changed really, save for in nagios 3.x you
don't need the contact group if you don't want it.

So, basically you're saying to put both contact_groups (adminmail
and adminphone) into a third contact_group, then use that
contact_group in the service? How would I then make warning
notifications go only to adminmail, and critical notifications go
only to adminphone?
No, in the individual contacts you can define what sort of
notifications that individual contact receives, using the
host_notification_options [d,u,r,f,s,n] and
service_notification_options [w,u,c,r,f,s,n] directives of the
contact. So what you do is make two contacts (not groups, but
individual contacts), specifying that adminmail only receives warning
(not critical) and adminphone only receives critical (not warning).
Add both contacts to a single contact group, add that contact group to
the host, and specify that the host send both critical and warning
notifications. Due to the filters in the contacts, each contact will
only receive the appropriate types. If you have more people you need
to contact, just make more contacts for each person, keeping the phone
contacts and the mail contacts separate.
