Are you getting flooded by service notifications when the "oddest
things happen"? If you are not doing host checks and the hosts are
actually down, you will get notified for all the services. If that is
the case you could lower the number of notifications being sent by
enabling host checks. There are some negatives to enabling active host
checks, however. If you are doing active host checks, you may want to
try Andreas' suggestion.
