Disable host notifications

Post by rferebee »

I should already know the answer to this question, but I'm not 100% so I'm going to ask.

When a user selects 'Disable notifications' for a specific host, does that also disable the notifications for the services related to the host? I think the answer is NO, but I have a user telling me they have done this in the past prior to performing maintenance and did not receive any email alerts when services went down during maintenance.

The answer is No like you suspected, HOWEVER, services are by default dependent on the host, so if the host is in a DOWN state you normally would not receive notifications for services.
