Hi, does anyone know how to disable warning notifications for host & services after a set number of notifications? I found the $SERVICENOTIFICATIONID$ macro which counts the notification number but I'm not sure how to script it.
Any help much apprieciated.
I'm using nagios 3.3.1 and nrpe 2.12
Thanks

Have you considered using escalations? You would have to set it like so
define hostescalation{
host_name myHost, thereHost # Or you could use reg exp like * here
first_notification 1
last_notification 10
notification_interval 30
contact_groups important_group
}
Add then just have the default contact be some dummy contact.

Many thanks for your reply Scott, it works!
I already have critical notifications configured to escalate to seperate groups, but following your instructions to create a dummy contact, and add the escalation for notifications (warnings only) starting at one, and finishing at ten works brilliantly.
Many thanks for your help.
