Sorry for my auto-reply, but notificationmethod could be a problem for 
implementing OPSView.
I've cases where some services should be sent sms and same service on other 
hosts not.
Example could be clarify what I need:

hostgroup1:
-- host1
---- service http -> send notification mail + sms
---- service smtp -> send notification mail
-- host2
---- service http -> send notification mail
---- service smtp -> send notification mail + sms

as learned, I can play only on notifications ON or OFF, not on who.
Also adding concat1 and contact2 to hostgroup1, they will receive all 
notifications and I cannot filter like above, right?
And every service has static setting, I cannot change for single service+host 
adding different contact-groups.
Is then this scenario not possible with opsview?
What about my doubts on previous mail?

Hi,

Coming from pure-nagios installation I know nagios uses the following
structure for send/filter notifications:
every host/service has its own contact-group for notifications
every hostgroups has its own contact-group for notifications
every contact-group contain the list of all contacts
every contact contain the settings on:
- Host notification period
- Host notification options (Up, Down)
- Service notification period
- Service notification options (OK, Critical, ...)
- Member of xy (whatever) contact-groups

Playing on these settings I can create custom notifications of different
sections or single servers too for my pure-nagios installation.

How is it configured on Opsview?
Seems I can work ONLY on:
- "Host Notify On" - and applied for all contacts
- "Service Notify On" - and applies for all contacts and all hosts with
same service has same settings.

In Example if I have HOST1 and HOST2 having check on HTTP I *cannot* set
that alarms on service HTTP for HOST1 are sent *only* on contact1 AND
HOST2 having alarms on HTTP sent *only* on concact2?
In pure-nagios installation I could put contact1 in group1 for HOST1 and
contact2 in group2 for HOST2 and so HOST1 and HOST2 are sending all
allarms on the right contacts based on their contact-groups.

I think that's a big limitation on OPSView for installations and overall
distributed environment where different groups are admins for part of
some sections. (Network Admins, System Admins, ...)

Or I'm missing something?
Or are notifications depending on "Authorised for Host Groups" and
"Authorised for Service Groups" (contact settings) too?

Thank's

Simon
