Multiple notifications from different hosts; same service

[ahoward12]

Hey Gents quick question I am really looking for advice. I am monitoring VmWare Datastores through the hosts, and it works great. I need some Nagios wisdom though; I am monitoring 3 DataStores through 8 Hosts. When one datastore goes critical I would expect to get a message from every host monitoring that datastore. I want to monitor all the hosts just in case one goes down I am still good, but I also don't want a message from every host all saying the same datastore went critical. Is there a way to say if this service is critical don't notify me from the other hosts?

Any Ideas?

Nagios XI 5.5.8
CentOS 6.8
VMware 6.5

Really the only way to set this up would be to monitor the datastores on all of the hosts, but do not setup alerting.

Then, proceed to create a Nagios BPI group containing the datastores.

Finally, run the BPI wizard and monitor this BPI group, then setup alerting for this BPI group
