Notifications being processed regardless of settings.

Post by LLT »

I am new to Nagios and am currently experiencing a rather annoying issue.

I have two servers in Nagios XI that I want to monitor but not get Notifications to my email and SMS. I have unselected all users and groups from the Notifications tab, including myself, and disabled notifications for the host, yet I still receive email and SMS messages regardless of these settings. I have looked for further config changes in the Core Configuration Manager but did not see anything regarding these two hosts that would indicate why they still send notifications.

I am not really sure where to go next with this. Has anyone experienced issues like this?

Hello, @LLT. Please check if this host is inheriting notifications from a template. And did you actually select Notifications Enabled --> off under Alert Settings?

After looking for the settings you described I found a link in the Advanced tab of the host called "view in Nagios Core". From that page i disabled notifications and the server finally seems to have stopped sending emails and sms messages.

I guess that is the fix for now...

Not sure why that worked but the other setting page that supposedly does the same thing would not work. Weird...
