Nagios Support Forum

Hi all,

I have modified the config file and deleted the notification interval line, but however I found that Nagios still send notification email hourly if the host still down. Is there any way I can disable the it and just enable for the first time notification? Thanks in advance.

[root@Nagios hosts]# grep "notification_interval " /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/*.cfg
[root@Nagios hosts]#

Try the same command one level up: I'm guessing it's being inherited by a host template.

Edit: It appears for some reason that the "_" is not showing up between "notification" and "interval" in my code, above. Trust me that it really is there, it's just not showing up on the screen.

@eloyd is correct, most likely a template. Another option is to look at your /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache file, and see how all of your configurations are compiled together. If you can't track down the template, then please post this file for us to look at. Along with it, let us know the host / service you're referring to as well.

Edit the host (or the template if using a template) and set notification_interval to 0, this will only send the first one.

Let us know the results.

Thank you
