Subject: [Nagios-users] multiple host and service alerts


Hello,

I keep getting multiple alerts (usually two or three) within minutes of
each other each time a host or service goes down or recovers. I only
want one notice each time a host or service goes down and one when it
recovers. Also, Nagios is only monitoring one service on each of these
hosts so I don't understand why I would be getting multiple alerts at
all.

If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

There are examples of service.cfg and contacts.cfg.

## services.cfg ##
# 'ping ROUTER' service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       r2030
	service_description             PING router
