Email Alerting Frequency Query

Good afternoon,

Is it possible to make Nagios Core only send out the first email alert for any given issue it encounters, until it is resolved?

For example if a diskspace threshold was exceeded at 00:10, then the issue was rectified at 09:15, then breached again at 16:00 and rectified at 16:40, I would only want one alert email to go out between 00:10 and 09:15, and only one between 16:00 and 16:40, rather than one every five or ten minutes, or at whatever I'd set my frequency to.

It would be the next/first scheduled alert that would need to go out for each breach so, in the above scenario, the alert would go out at (for example) 00:15 and 16:05.

Does that make sense?

Have a good weekend all, and, as always, thank you for your valuable support.

Pete

Setting notification_interval to 0 for that host/service will send out only one notification for a given problem state.
