Ghost monitoring contact

Post by snapon_admin »

I went through the Solaris wizard for one of our Solaris servers that we already had in Nagios just to add some stuff that wasn't already being monitored. I clicked "Finish" after adding the mountpoints and services that I wanted (so I clicked Finish on the check interval screen) and somehow ended up making myself a monitoring contact for this host. I'm not a Solaris admin, so I don't want to be alerted on this host, but I can't find where to remove myself anywhere. When I go into the CCM and check the Manage Contacts section there's nothing there, and the Contact groups section has all the correct contact groups in it, none of which I'm apart of. Thoughts?

You sure you aren't on the individual services and not just the host?

The default for wizards is to alert yourself, so I bet if you look at the services that you'll find yourself as a contact there.

How did Bandit's suggestion work out for you OP?

Sorry, had some time off and just now got back to look at this. Bandit was correct, that was the issue. I could swear I checked that as well, but apparently I hadn't. This issue is corrected, thanks.
