Argus will resend the page every 5 minutes by default.. you could set it
to a higher value on the low priority objects --

Group "Unimportant" {
  renotify: 1800
  escalate: 180 mail:escalate at example.com
  hostname: host.example.com
  Service Ping
  [...]
}

that'd resend the page every 30 minutes, and would escalate after 3 hours.

i'm not sure if "escalate: " is valid, to turn off escalation all together.

When Jeff gets back from la-la land, i'm sure he'll follow up.
