[Nagiosplug-help] Email preferred over display.

Or you could set up an event handler.

If the event handler gets triggered on a hard critical, write out a 
status file.
Then modify your check script to always exit 0 if the status file is 
there; or if you prefer, you could do Warning state.  Either way you can 
keep the current status of the service you're checking in the output text.
You would then have either your event handler (on a hard OK) or you 
check script, once the service recovers, delete that temp status file.

You'll have your one notification, with the alert blipping momentarily 
onto the web gui, and then it will be gone.
