You can use them for both :), overlapping escalations are perfectly acceptable and work just fine. > I may need to just suck it up and replicate the services per host group.

I am still trying to figure out how to get non-service / host state notifications working with this type of inheritence .. we have multiple groups of people running different projects in a shared instance of Nagios, each group runs their own configurations, so having shared services is a must but letting them have complete control over their notifications is a must as well. I have always thought that having a notification be a separate configuration DSL object altogether would make the most sense from a configuration point of view .. if we had a servicenotification object and a hostnotification object, then, as with escalations, multiple contacts could have different policies on the same shared service or groups of hosts without losing the non-state related notifications using the terrific compact regex notation we can use with host and service escalations. > PS.
