Nagios ignoring notification interval with passive checks

[Andreas Wassatsch]

Hello list,

I've setup a passive check which submits its return value every minute
to Nagios.

The Problem is: When the passive_check submits a critical or warning
result to Nagios every minute, Nagios is ignoring the
notification_interval and sends out a notification every minute.

Is there a way to get Nagios honoring notification_interval with
passive_checks ?

Regards,
Andreas
