<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial;font-weight:normal'> I’m new to
nagios, so I’m still learning the in’s and out’s of the
program. One thing I’m trying to figure out is how to not get so
many notifications. When the host goes down, I receive a notice about
that, plus that all its services are now unavailable, and then the same amount
of notifications when the host is again available. What I would like is
to get a single notification about the host outage and then one for when the
host is in service. Is there an easy way to set this up? <o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
