Ah. Well, yes. :) I believe those statements are referring to the filters that Nagios uses to determine whether or not to send a notification at all. *That's* not an issue here, the notification goes out, just like it should. *My* question is why the sanity check thinks that configuration doesn't make sense. I think the answer is probably something to the effect of: "I don't know why anyone would want that, so warn about it." I don't want to put words in the mouth of any of the developers that may have touched it, though, so I'm just guessing. I just want to make sure this is a case of Nagios maybe not giving the right advice in its sanity check, and *not* that there's something behind the scenes that I'm not aware of that might actually cause a problem. If it's the former, maybe we can get it adjusted for the next release. If it's the latter, I hope someone will step forth with the ClueBat 5000(tm) and give me a good thump. :) Thanks, everyone!
