Nagios can't do that. However, you can but it's not necessarily convenient. I would approach it as having intimate control over the notification script. It's certainly possible to specify a notification script for that service that tracks the previous output, status and other information and notifies appropriately. Combine that with the volatile setting and you have a way to do what you want outside of nagios. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
