Subject: [Nagios-users] email alerting - 1 email only.



Is there a way to make nagios only send an email on a alert the first
time it detects it down, then send a email only the first time it see's
it go back up.

 

We have nagios tied to a ticketing system and currently the way it's
setup resulting in a new email created on every detected failure.  We
only want one sent on the first detection,

Set your notification_interval to 0. --

notification_interval: This directive is used to define the number of
"time units" to wait before re-notifying a contact that this service is
still in a non-OK state. Unless you've changed the interval_length
directive from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes.
If you set this value to 0, Nagios will not re-notify contacts about
problems for this service - only one problem notification will be sent
out.
