Hey guys
At the moment i got nagios to notify when a host is down at every hour however i want to change it to so it just notify once its down once and then when its backup again
in the documentation it said to change 'notification_interval' to '0' and this will do that but it doesnt it notifies me every 30 minutes instead is there anywhere else that could control the 'notification_interval'

belwo is the 'windows.cfg' file where all my windows server host

define service{
use generic-service ; Inherit values from a template
host_name Server1, Server2, Server3 ; The name of the host the service is associated with
service_description ; The service description
check_command check_ping!200.0,20%!600.0,60% ; The command used to monitor the service
normal_check_interval 5 ; Check the service every 5 minutes under normal conditions
retry_check_interval 1 ; Re-check the service every minute until its final/hard state is determined
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,c,r
contact_groups admins
}


thanks
Huy
