Hi Simon, That certainly is a limitation but there are ways to work around it. In my case, we have an on call rotation every week, and the on call person should receive the first 5 alerts and from the 6th alert on it should escalate. Our approach was to create a php page that lets you select who should be on call. That page connects to the DB, updates contacts accordingly and reloads opsview.
The other thing we had to tweak was notifications for critical hosts/services. For those, we want the whole team to get all alerts starting from the 1st. To get that working, we duplicated the contacts. Lets say 'User' and 'User - Critical'. Using host groups, we assigned regular hosts to 'User' and critical hosts to 'User - Critical'. It's not pretty but gets the job done.
