I’d like to treat one contact different depending on the current contactgroup.
E.g.:
- Majestix is a group member of network-admins and server-admins
- He should see the Network devices once he’s logged into the WUI but he shouldn’t get notifications for the network devices
- On the other hand he’s also a server admin so I can’t disable notifications completely for Majestix
Snippet of my current config (names changed slightly 
)
define contactgroup {
contactgroup_name network-admins
alias Network Admins
members Asterix, Obelix, Idefix, Majestix
}
define contactgroup {
contactgroup_name server-admins
alias Server Admins
members Majestix
}
define contact {

}Maybe I’m just overseeing something but right now I don’t know how to handle this with nagios. BTW I’m currently using version 3.0.6
