I have a major problem with the email notification from Nagios. To day I got over 1000 emails on my cell phone at 10 cents each from a 12 hour outage. Here is an example of my service configuration and as you can see I should not be getting more then one message every 240 min (yes the base time is still set to 60 seconds per unit). Any ideas?
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name Summit-A
service_description PING
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups router-admins
notification_interval 240
notification_period 24x7
notification_options c,r
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
}
