escalation/notification question

[Jeff Williams]

If I have a host called viper with the following definitions, I'm wondering
why the group admins gets warning notifications for the service "DISK /"
after the first notification. To me, these definitions say that admins
should get no more than 5 notifications and no warning notifications after
the first one. Am I wrong in thinking that? In testing this, the admins
group got at least 8 warning notifications.

Also, here are the generic-host and generic-service definitions. I forgot to
include those before as well.

define host{
        name                            generic-host    ; The name of this
host template
        check_interval                  0
        max_check_attempts              2
        notifications_enabled           1       ; Host notifications are
enabled
        event_handler_enabled           1       ; Host event handler is
enabled
        flap_detection_enabled          1       ; Flap detection is enabled
        failure_prediction_enabled      1       ; Failure prediction is
enabled
        process_perf_data               1       ; Process performance data
        retain_status_information       1       ; Retain status information
across program restarts
        retain_nonstatus_information    1       ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
        register                        0       ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }

define service{
        name                            generic-service ; The 'name' of this
service template
        max_check_attempts              2
        normal_check_interval           5
        active_checks_enabled           1       ; Active service checks are
enabled
        passive_checks_enabled          1       ; Passive service checks are
enabled/accepted
        parallelize_check               1       ; Active service checks
should be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance
problems)
        obsess_over_service             1       ; We should obsess over this
service (if necessary)
        check_freshness                 0       ; Default is to NOT check
service 'freshness'
        notifications_enabled           1       ; Service notifications are
enabled
        event_handler_enabled           1       ; Service event handler is
enabled
        flap_detection_enabled          1       ; Flap detection is enabled
        failure_prediction_enabled      1       ; Failure prediction is
enabled
        process_perf_data               1       ; Process performance data
        retain_status_information       1       ; Retain status information
across program restarts
        retain_nonstatus_information    1       ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
        register                        0       ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }



Anyone have any insight on this? I haven't been able to figure out why this
shouldn't work. Thanks.
