Scott. I keep going back in my head to this statement. Maybe the one that is "working" is a fluke and my notifications are acting as they should. I have notifications set with interval 0 so only one is going out. I recently added these escalations into the mix because a couple people wanted notifications only for their prod servers, so I did that through escalations instead of templates.

If notifications do in fact behave how you said in what I quoted, I guess I should use a separate PROD template and NON-PROD template then?!?!??! Then remove the escalations and everything will then operate as I desire. That sound right?

EDIT: If that is indeed the case, thats fine. I just created a couple new templates and added 1 or 2 more templates to hosts that needed them and believe I am getting the desired effect and you can close this mess of a thread
