Recurring Notification Problem

[Daniels, Mike]

Hi all,
 
 I was wondering if anyone has experienced problems with recurring
critical/warning notifications with Nagios 3.0.1? I've just implemented
a new server and added a few test hosts to it. Despite our configuration
files specifying a notification interval of 0, we are receiving
notifications approximately every five minutes. Coincidentally, this is
the same length of time between service checks. The problem occurs only
with our service checks, hosts that are down only notify once as they
are configured to. The configuration file was created on our Nagios 2.x
production box through NagiosQL 2.0 and copied to our test 3.0.1 box.
There were no errors or warnings reported when checking the
configuration before starting Nagios. Nagios is running on CentOS 5,
with NDOUtils 1.4b7.
 
 Here is the service definition:
 
define  service {
        host_name
CountyServer-Ardmore,CountyServer-Balm,CountyServer-Bayview,CountyServer
-TestServer,CountyServerDMZ-Springhurst,CountyServerDMZ-VTH-Web,CountySe
rverDMZ-Web-Dev
        service_description             Terminal Services
        is_volatile                     1
        check_command                   check_tcp!3389
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        active_checks_enabled           1
        passive_checks_enabled          1
        check_period                    24x7
        parallelize_check               1
        obsess_over_service             0
        check_freshness                 1
        event_handler                   notify-service-by-email
        event_handler_enabled           1
        flap_detection_enabled          0
        failure_prediction_enabled      1
        process_perf_data               1
        retain_status_information       1
        retain_nonstatus_information    1
        contact_groups                  NetworkCommunications
        notification_interval           0
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r,f
        notifications_enabled           1
        register                        1
        }
 
I've checked and double checked the configuration file and I cannot find
an error. I have also tried setting the notification interval to a high
number, 56000 just for testing, and it has made no difference to the
notifications. They still come in every five minutes.
 
Thanks,
