Except for the first case, I > don't > understand the reason this happens is that nagios can not send a notification based on an "old" data , the notification is relevant to the current status and that is related to the latest check . now if your check interval is smaller then the notification , that means that nagios can do more checks and then send the alert on the latest data .
but if it is the other way around - it means that the alert sent might be based on out-of-date date and hence there is a strong possibility of a "false-positive" and nagios is reminding you of that possibility and also refrains from sending messages if it does not have a more current check . -- Never,Ever Cut A Deal With a Dragon Next year I will be doing the London to Paris bike ride to raise money for the DogTrust (www.dogtrust.co.uk) .
