multiple host and service alerts

[Otmar Conradus]

Ryan,

That I know when a service check return a non-ok value nagios will the 
check if the host is up according to the host check command you defined.

Please check if you are getting 
- an email with a critical ping message
followed by a
- email with a host down message

Hello,

I keep getting multiple alerts (usually two or three) within minutes of
each other each time a host or service goes down or recovers. I only
want one notice each time a host or service goes down and one when it
recovers. Also, Nagios is only monitoring one service on each of these
hosts so I don't understand why I would be getting multiple alerts at
all.

If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

There are examples of service.cfg and contacts.cfg.
