Escalations
Configuring escalations in NMIS8 happens in two locations. The first location is in System -> System Configuration -> NMIS Configuration area (escalation in the drop down) which stores it's settings in Config.nmis. This is where the escalation levels are located. An escalation level links an elapsed amount of time to a name. For example, by default escalate0 happens immediately (0 seconds) escalate1 happens after 300 seconds, and so on. The names and times are configurable.

The different levels are described above but they are really a very straight forward mapping of elapsed time to a string key. Here is what they look like by default:

- When UpNotify is "true", for any "down" message which is sent an UP notification will be sent when the node or element comes up, then lets you know the event is "resolved".
- When set to "false", no notification will be sent when the node or element comes up.

Notice that via the GUI edit node context you can select multiple nodes for the depend value. This may be advantageous if the site has redundant edge routers.
