Hi
I installed nagios xi server, i am monitoring Cent OS client.
When some service in client is down, i am getting only one alert.
How do i configure nagios to generate alerts untill the issue is fixed.
Thanks

Have you set notification options for your contacts to alert on recovery?

Host Notification Options:
d = notify on DOWN host states,
u = notify on UNREACHABLE host states,
r = notify on host recoveries (UP states), and
f = notify when the host starts and stops flapping.
s = notify on scheduled downtime.
If you specify n (none) as an option, the contact will not receive any type of host notifications.

Service Notification Options:
w = notify on WARNING service states,
u = notify on UNKNOWN service states,
c = notify on CRITICAL service states,
r = notify on service recoveries (OK states), and
f = notify when the servuce starts and stops flapping.
If you specify n (none) as an option, the contact will not receive any type of host notifications.

Additionally, in CCM > Hosts/Services > "Service/Host Name" > Alert Settings > Notification Interval

Make sure the interval is set to a reasonable number to achieve your goal, this means Nagios will send a recurring notification if the state does not change.
