notification interval

[nshahorchard]

Hey guys,

I had a somewhat dumb question. I edited the notification_interval for my nagios server to 30 minutes. Does this affect the initial notification or the recurring notifications?

notification_interval: This directive is used to define the number of "time units" to wait before re-notifying a contact that this service is still down or unreachable. Unless you've changed the interval_length directive from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes. If you set this value to 0, Nagios will not re-notify contacts about problems for this host - only one problem notification will be sent out.

so, the recurring notifications

Scott,

Thanks for the clarification!
