Yes, and notify-by-email specified as the event_handler. > And the > event_handler "notify_by_email" is used for notifications _and_ the > event_handler? notify_by_email isn't an eventhandler but you've appropriated it as one above. Event handlers are used to perform special actions like trying to restart a service before a notification is needed. The notification command that gets run is determined from the contact{} definition, and is not directly associated with a service. The contact almost certainly has notify_by_email specified as their service_notification_command (it's real purpose). > With 2.x i only got a notification when the service isnt available > for 5 > minutes.

That's one reason they're not meant to be used for notifications. > So will it help if i disable the "event_handler_enabled"? Absolutely. Someone seems to have been changed this in your config during the upgrade.
