The best solution would be service escalation or host escalation feature of nagios. <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=Iujcg9s3BKMC&pg=PA262&lpg=PA262&dq=service+escalation+nagios&source=bl&ots=Ppge7Pp9sa&sig=slpkoN27AccERQP5l0b1tvJy4p4&hl=en&ei=UPfLSryoG8atlAeC-pniBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6#v=onepage&q=service%20escalation%20nagios&f=false">http://books.google.com/books?id=Iujcg9s3BKMC&pg=PA262&lpg=PA262&dq=service+escalation+nagios&source=bl&ots=Ppge7Pp9sa&sig=slpkoN27AccERQP5l0b1tvJy4p4&hl=en&ei=UPfLSryoG8atlAeC-pniBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6#v=onepage&q=service%20escalation%20nagios&f=false</a> <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 4, 2009 at 10:35 PM, Stuart Browne <<a href="mailto:stuart.browne@ausregistry.com.au">stuart.browne@ausregistry.com.au</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">> -----Original Message----- > From: Justin Pryzby [mailto:<a href="mailto:justinp@norchemlab.com">justinp@norchemlab.com</a>] > Sent: Monday, 5 October 2009 02:50 > To: <a href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> > Subject: [Nagios-users] escalation for receiving only recovery events? > > A coworker wants to receive periodic notifies for failing services, > and I want to receive only the first one.
