Hi everyone, I copy one of my service definitions, where I repeated the notification_interval line, so I hope it helps <a href="mailto:ravishankar.gundlapali@wipro.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">ravishankar</a>: define service{ use generic-service host_name [names_of_my_hosts] service_description PING is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 2 check_command check_ping!200.0,20%!600.0,60% normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 5 contacts nagiosadmin notification_interval 60 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r,w,u,f notifications_enabled 1 I am not sure how efficient it is but it works fine for us..

You need to set it for both so that you get the notifications as you want. If you want notifications for the host then modify only the host template. By doing so you will receive host related notifications once in 4 hours (or whatever you configured) , If you want your services to notify you every 4 hours (or whatever you configured in the notification interval) then you must add this information in the services template for the notification interval parameter.
