Im new to Nagios. But I might be able to help you out. Its best you change these values in the service template, witch is defined in templates.cfg in the sample configuration.<br>There you need to look for these parameters,<br>
<br>check_interval 2 ; This one is in minutes. just set it to 30, for your case.<br>retry_interval 1 ; This defines the check time for the checks after the first negative. (minutes :)<br>
max_check_attempts 3 ; And this is your notification limit. After 3 the check will go to a hard state and you recieve a notification.<br>notification_interval 0 ; This defines if the notifications should be resent. 0 means no resends.<br>
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s ; This will be useful to you to.. It defines what kind of messages you recieve. Check what those letters mean, so you find the right on for you. I recieve only warning and recovery.<br>
<br>Hope this helps out.<br><br>later<br>Matej<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 7:25 AM, Thomas Kinghorn - MWEB <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:TKinghorn@mweb.com">TKinghorn@mweb.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
