Problem: Custom Notification Rule sends notifications to all users

[lisek]

Hello. I would like to kindly ask for some advice.

I have configuration that looks like this:

Users are in Contact Groups.
In Host Folders I have permissions to Contact Groups. And Hosts inherits this setting from folders

That works fine for Global Notification Rules
But I Have SMS notifications with different time periods defined.

So in every user with sms notification, I’ve created new custom notification rule for user

It works, and sends sms in proper time periods.

Problem is that it now send notifications for all hosts not for the one that should be send.
So it sends sms messages for users even if they are not in Contact Groups of that server.

And I’m stuck. Can someone try to help me?
I can even buy a beer by some paypal

In Global Notification Rules there is option “Restrict to Contact Groups” that should be ok for me, but it’s not available in custom user Rules. There is option “Match Contact Groups” instead but it doesn’t work like this .

I don’t know is this clear enough, if not feel free to attack me, I will prepare screens

OK. Solved.
This is very stupid but to make it work I had to add Match Contact and select user that I’m editing.
Stupid and very unintuitive but works.

No this is not unintuitive - your complete “Conditions” section is empty that means only the time period matches and defines what should notify.
One suggestion - you don’t need to define this as a personal notification setting this can also be done inside you global rules.
