As I've said, I notice in the logs that there is a recovery notification going to my none contact group, then before that I see the notification sent to the none contact group, and then 2 hours before that I see the notification going to everyone that it is supposed to. This has been happening for awhile now. Also, I don't believe your suggestion would do anything as the documentations say: "Note: Notifications about host or service recoveries are only sent out if a notification was sent out for the original problem. It doesn't make sense to get a recovery notification for something you never knew was a problem." Therefore why would a contact only get recovery notifications.

Thus the original list is out of reach. One thing you could try is creating a new list (lfisher_ooh) and then set this group to get the alerts during escalation periods but only 'recovery' alerts (ie. notification_options r) <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> -----Original Message----- From: Assaf Flatto [mailto:<a href="mailto:assaf.flatto@ssp.uk.com">assaf.flatto@ssp.uk.com</a>] Sent: 10 November 2008 15:22 To: <a href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Notification Recovery Issue >From these definitions - it should work and i see not reason why it doesn't . have you checked the log to see what happens when it detects a recovery ? could it be that you have tow instances running and thus the nagios isn't running with the corrent config ?
