Use escalations to limit the number of Nagios alarms

Nagios is a very powerful monitoring tool, especially its alarm function. It now supports a variety of forms on the Internet, such as mobile phone 139 mailbox, Fetion, and MSN, however, if the server fails to be resolved in a timely manner, Nagios will continuously send alarm messages, which is a headache.
