Limit max notifications
Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2022 5:26 pm
Hello All,
I'm monitoring 345 hosts and 1146 services. When there's a major outage, or our nagios VM has an issue, it triggers hundreds of email notifications, which are going to text addresses, (phonenumber)@vtext.com for example. Obviously LOTS of them get blocked (deferred on the smtp relay). So eventually, the problem is fixed but unfortunately there are tons of deferred notifications that the smtp server keeps trying over time, sometimes I'm getting notifications days later because of this. Does anyone know if there's a way to send 1 notification that basically says "hey there's a problem, go check it out" no matter what or how many host(s) or service(s) triggers the alert, rather than sending a notification for each service/host that's having a problem?
Thanks
Greg
