Disable Notification at the command-line?

[MrWoodward]

Is there a way to "Disable Notification" at the command-line in an instantaneous manner?

Sometimes we find that when load is high on the Nagios box, that clicking "Disable Notification" either thru XI or Core is very slow to respond, or doesn't respond at all.

Is there a command-line version of "Disable Notification" that works right away?

Yes. You can use the nagios.cmd pipe file to execute the appropriate command (see https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... mands.html).

I'm guessing you're most interested in https://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/ex ... mand_id=12

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the DISABLE_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS command
# to Nagios.  Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary.

now=`date +%s`
commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'

/bin/printf "[%lu] DISABLE_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS;host1;service1\n" $now > $commandfile

Thanks, guys!

Both very useful. I've tried out the mass disable notification script and it seems to work well!

Much appreciated.
