Notification interval is different for hosts and services. 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.

Hi,

If I change the time in service definition will this get affected to all the devices in Nagios?

Please let me know if I want to change for a particular host group??

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

I am using Nagios 3.2.4 with Nagios plugins 1.4.14 on Linux with Fedora

10.1.

I want nagios to send the notification email every 4 hours.

Currently it is sending the emails every 30 minutes.

I tried to edit the Templates.cfg file by changing notification_interval to 240.But still I am receiving the emails every 30 minutes.

define host{

name stw_app_server ; The name of this host template

# use generic-host ; Inherit default values from the generic-host template

check_period 24x7 ; By default, Windows servers are monitored round the clock

check_interval 5 ; Actively check the server every 5 minutes

retry_interval 1 ; Schedule host check retries at 1 minute intervals

max_check_attempts 2 ; Check each server 10 times (max)

check_command check-host-alive ; Default command to check if servers are "alive"

notification_period 24x7 ; Send notification out at any time - day or night

*notification_interval 240* ; Resend notifications every 30 minutes

notification_options d,r ; Only send notifications for specific host states

# contact_groups stw_app_server ; Notifications get sent to the admins by default

hostgroups stw_app_server ; Host groups that Windows servers should be a member of

register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS - ITS JUST A TEMPLATE

        }

Please someone help me to resolve this.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks & Regards,

*Ravi G*
