I'm moving our production nagios install onto its own machine with cacti (noc1) We've had a few false positives because lockbox is just too busy with other things. In the process of this move I was wondering how we should do nagios notifications. I see two options:
1) Create a nagios group for just generic all notifications 2) make admins add themselves about what to be notified about 3) Auto add people in a group to the notifications list and make them customize if necessary.
Prior to the move to noc1. We used 3).
Opinions?

sysadmin-buildsys should get alerts for the buildsys machines. sysadmin-cvs for the cvs server sysadmin-main all alerts. Which can be customisable if you want others less.

Speaking as someone who recieves lots of alerts, I personally like a combination of #1 and #2. All notifications go to a dedicated mail list that people can filter however they like, and they can sign up for individual notifications to be sent to their SMS/private email/whatever.
