<DIV><SPAN class=325494416-14042008><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
