Scheduled Maintenance and Best Practice

[ahoward12]

Hey Gents, I have 2 quiestions:

One - Is there a way to disable the "OK" notification when I have hosts/services in scheduled maintenance? I don't get any of the downs which is great but all of the OK's are annoying. If I disable the notifications altogether I tend to forget to turn them back on.

Two - Second question I am really looking for advice. I am monitoring VmWare Datastores through the hosts, and it works great. However, when one datastore goes critical I get a message from all 8 hosts for obvious reasons. I don't want to just monitor one host but I am looking to see how I can get away from being spammed with notifications.

Any Ideas?

Nagios XI 5.5.1
CentOS 6.8
VMware 6.5

As long as the hosts AND services were in downtime you should not receive the recovery, if you are receiving them then you're likely hitting a bug.

For the recovery emails, there were some bugs in XI 5.5+ that have been fixed in the latest, please upgrade to XI 5.5.8 to see if it resolves the issue:
