Hi,

How can you limit the notification to alert x times and stop?

Also, can this be done globally rather than for each host and service, etc.?

Thanks.

If the amount of times is 1 then you can do this by adjusting the notification_interval to 0 and the service will just deliver 1 notification.

If you want more than 1, you would need to setup an escalations for the hosts and services, and at this time there is no way to set them globally.

Finally, if you would like to change the notification_interval for many hosts/services at once, there is a bulk_modification tool in the new CCM beta that I am attaching to this post.

If you want to try it you can install it as a component under Admin -> Manage Components

Hi, In the service escalations - It appears this needs to be done for all Hosts, HostGroups, Contact, ContactGroups - all of which I can select (*) for. And for Services, I need to add all in as there is no (*) option... So, unless I am adding new Service types - this would work as a global service escalation?
Also, Service Escalation already seems to have Hosts, HostsGroups - If I have these selected and create a service escalation, I don't need a separate host escalation as well?

Would this be a correct solution to this?

All of the services selected need to be on ALL of the host selected.
