Send only X Notifications on failure

[scott_yem at agilent.com]

Additionally, you should be able to add the information to the template and use templates as described in the manual.  This would make the changes you make global.

Alternatively, you should be able to vi the file and ":%s/last_notification   60/last_notification   1/" to make the change globally.  This would work if the configurations were copied to make the next template.  The task is not difficult to manage even with several hundreds of services.

you can use "notification_interval 0" in your service template, like it 
is described in the fine manuals:

<snip>

notification_interval:	This directive is used to define the number of 
"time units" to wait before re-notifying a contact that this service is 
still in a non-OK state. Unless you've changed the 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 service - only one problem notification will be sent out.
