As in Nagios the hard alert (Email notification) is there after 3 soft alerts. I want to get the Email notifications on every Soft alert. May i know any changes or how it would be done?

Hello @Addiey,

Thanks for asking and welcome to the support forum!

Nagios Core does not generate a notification on a soft state. You can, however, set the max_check_attempts on your host to 1. Setting this value to 1 will cause Nagios to generate an alert without retrying the host check.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
