Limit total number of notifications of all checks

Post by shawark »

Is is possible to limit total number of notifications of all checks on failure server.
It will save us the sms bills and time to delete messages.

Here is a similar request a while ago, other than that I could not find any other relevant information.

Hello shawark,

You can most likely accomplish what you need to by defining a "dummy escalated contact," by doing this the first or primary contact designated will receive [x] number of notifications and the dummy will receive the remaining notifications sent. We have provided a document on how to accomplish escalation creation at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/escalations.html. In regards to questions not being answered may I direct you to our Support sections for any further inquires. Thank you.
