It seems to be notifying me at the check interval and not the notification interval for all my services. Basically, I am getting emails every 20 minutes for the Disk_Space_C service below no matter what I have the notification interval set to. I haven't tried changing the check interval to seei f it will change the interval between notifications, but I may try that later. I might also try changing the parent service template "generic-service" as use_retained_scheduling_info=0 had no effect on restart. I don't know if it is my retention file or what... Nagios is reading the service as "no re-notification" when I look at the configuration in the web interface and I have no escalations setup yet, so I am at a loss. The service uses the it-generic template below which uses the generic-service template I have created. define service { name generic-service is_volatile 1 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 5 normal_check_interval 20 retry_check_interval 2 active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 1 check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 0 notifications_enabled 1 notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,w,r event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 low_flap_threshold 0 high_flap_threshold 0 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 contact_groups nagiosadmin register 0 } define service { name it-generic use generic-service notification_interval 0 notification_options c,w,r contact_groups Email_SomeGroup,nagiosadmin register 0 } define service { service_description Disk_Space_C use it-generic host_name myhost check_command chk_wmi_disk!C:!93,97 } Doug Woodgate Sr Technical Analyst Brown Printing Company </BODY> </HTML>
