Maintenance mode

Post by IT-OPS-SYS »

hi team,

How can we turn on the maintenance mode for the entire hosts and services in our nagios xi database. Actually we are moving the nagios machine which is a part of the datacenter from 1 datacenter to the other datacenter and we dont want the notification during the migration of the datacenter and no more alerts after turning on the machine on the new datacenter.

version : 5.5.11

thanks in advance.

the easiest thing to do would be to turn off notification system wide by going to
Admin -> Monitoring Engine Status
Click the X next to Notifications

if I make this setting and shut down my nagios machine and start it after 4 hours on another datacenter, will i not be getting any alerts/notification for any of the hosts during the downtime.
