Nagios Support Forum

Hi All

Could someone please tell me how I can achieve the following:
By default Nagios send out a notification for critical/warnings on a "x" based interval

By this I mean that should Nagios detect a problem it will send a notification, after x minutes it will send another notification and so it will continue.

What or more specifically - what to I need to change to instruct the application to only send one (1) notification when the host is unavailable or if it detects a service failure and one notification once the host has be restored or the service recovered.

You support in this matter would be greatly appreciated as this constant notifications make the system useless as engineers stop looking and view the monitoring systems as a spam utility.

If you set the notification_interval to 0, it will only send an initial notification.

For notification_options, make sure "r" is one of the options, so that it notifies upon recovery.
