Hey everyone,

I want to know if Nagios allow to configure Notifications so only send one notification when the device down and only one device recovered.

Right now I have it set to send a notification every hour.

Thankx a lot.

From the docs:
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.
Just set to 0 and you should be good.

You're very welcome. For future reference, the Nagios Core docs still apply to Nagios XI in large part, except that you have to do some mental gymnastics to translate notification_interval to the proper field in the CCM. Nothing too awful. The concepts are still valid since XI runs on top of Core.

Gonna lock this one up.
