<p class=MsoNormal>I’m using Nagios 3.0.1 and Ubuntu 8.0.4, and it is
working great. The issue that I’m having is that, a service will be down
and I will not get a notification for 15-20 min afterwards. How and where would
I configure this? All other services outside this service group work ‘fine’.<o:p></o:p></p>
