color:navy'>Not only am I having problems with the notification interval, other
strangeness is rearing it’s head. Last night there was a host down alarm,
no service check problems, just a host down. Then, 40 seconds (SECONDS!) later,
Host OK. What could possibly explain this? There’s no check interval of
40 seconds… And shouldn’t a host check be preceeded by service
failures?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=navy face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
color:navy'>Another host had an check_http service check timeout. Generated a
critical alert notificiation. Nothing else until 20 minutes later when it went ‘OK.
This is confusing, Given that my notification interval seems stuck at 25
minutes it makes sense we only got one notification, but our alternate alarm
systems (remote services) never alarmed at all, the service was fully available
during these 20 minutes. The alarm was just a timeout on the plugin and then it
seems nothing happened for 20 minutes???<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=navy face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Hello,<br>
<br>
I am running Nagios 1.2 on Linux Redhat 9 and 7.3<br>
<br>
I am seeing that if a service condition is let's say 'warning' and remains that
way notifications are sent every 25 minutes.<br>
<br>
Now I have interval_length=60 and notification_interval 120<br>
<br>
This makes me think that I should be getting these notifications every 2 hours,
which is the desired behaviour. Can anyone tell me what may be wrong here?
Maybe I don't understand this properly? Are these two parameters what should be
controlling this behaviour?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your kind consideration.<br>
