nagios 2.5, service notifications sent too often

[Doug Woodgate]

I have an issue with nagios notifying me about service problems too
often. It seems to be notifying me at the check interval and not the
notification interval for all my services. Basically, I am getting
emails every 20 minutes for the Disk_Space_C service below no matter
what I have the notification interval set to. I haven't tried changing
the check interval to seei f it will change the interval between
notifications, but I may try that later. I might also try changing the
parent service template "generic-service" as
use_retained_scheduling_info=0 had no effect on restart. I don't know if
it is my retention file or what...

Nagios is reading the service as "no re-notification" when I look at the
configuration in the web interface and I have no escalations setup yet,
so I am at a loss. The service uses the it-generic template below which
uses the generic-service template I have created.


define service {
