This from Nagios doc

 

notification_interval: This directive is used to define the number of "time
units" to wait before re-notifying a contact that this server is still down
or unreachable. Unless you've changed the
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#interval_length>
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 host - only one problem notification will be sent
out.

 

 

Best regards

Hi,

 

(Spot the newbie time).

 

I’m running Nagios 2.6 on Debian. The system works fine, but I’m getting
more flack from colleagues about the Amount of email they get. Basically, if
Nagios spots a problem/Warning/Critical, it emails out until we acknowledge
the issue, is there a way to tailor Nagios config so it only emails once?

 

So once for a Warning, once for a Critical, and then once when Resolved?

 

Thanks,
