It seems that you need to make dependencies for the services on the host status to limit the amount of notifications . Also it is possible - if you have a set interval for each group ( set schedule ) you can define a time period for each group to be checked.
# 'exchange-servers' timeperiod definition define timeperiod{ timeperiod_name exchange alias exchange reboot time sunday 00:00-24:00 monday 00:00-03:00,04:30-24:00 tuesday 00:00-24:00 wednesday 00:00-24:00 thursday 00:00-24:00 friday 00:00-24:00 saturday 00:00-24:00 } And that will help you have a sorted and set schedule for each reboot time.
