Additionally, you should be able to add the information to the template and use templates as described in the manual. This would make the changes you make global.
Alternatively, you should be able to vi the file and ":%s/last_notification 60/last_notification 1/" to make the change globally. This would work if the configurations were copied to make the next template. The task is not difficult to manage even with several hundreds of services.

Unless you've changed the interval_length directive from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes. If you set this value to 0, Nagios will not re-notify contacts about problems for this service - only one problem notification will be sent out. </snip> -vol ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
