First, I would suggest reading the documentation, specifically the
object configuration files documentation, for the version you are
running before asking questions like this. If you read it, this question
will be quickly answered.

Nagios 2.x <http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/>
Nagios 3.x <http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/>

Set the notification_interval parameter on your hosts and services to 0.
