notification_interval maximum value

[alanclar]

What is the maximum acceptable value for notification_interval (for a service configuration) that is accepted by Nagios XI.
I have tried to use a value of 1440 in the CCM bulk modification tool, but after using the tool, if I bring up the configuration of the service, Nagios has set the value to 0. This indicates that in the parsing of the modification, some limit on notification_interval has bee exceeded.
There is no mention of an upper limit on notification_interval in the Nagios documentation.

This question was asked in the forum before:

I just spoke to our developers about this - notification_interval is a double, so the limitation is 1.79769e+308...

This did not really answer the question. Variable size does not necessarily mean that a certain value will be accepted by Nagios.

I will talk to our Nagios Core developers to further investigate the issue.

Most likely you are having some kind of configuration issue. You shouldn't be having any issues with setting up the notification_interval to 1440... I just set up the same value on one of my services under the CCM, and after applying configuration I can see the expected config.

define service {
host_name OldWorkstation-NCPA
service_description Disk Usage on C:/
use xiwizard_ncpa_service
check_command check_xi_ncpa!-t 'token' -P 5693 -M 'disk/logical/C:|' -w '5' -c '10'!!!!!!!
max_check_attempts 5
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
check_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notification_interval 1440
notification_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notifications_enabled 1
contacts nagiosadmin
_xiwizard ncpa
register 1
}

I would recommend that you open a new support ticket via our support center here so that we could help you out with setting up the notification_interval on your system.
