Monitoring contact question

[snapon_admin]

If I have specific users, say our Operations team, set as monitoring contacts for all of the hosts we have in Nagios, is there a way that they can be a monitoring contact for a specific host, but NOT a contact for a service on that host? Confusing, I know. Here's an example. Operations users are monitoring contacts for all of our routers, which they should be, but we don't want them receiving notifications for bandwidth alerts. Our network team handles bandwidth alerts already, and Operations doesn't need those emails sent to them. Is there a way that the Operations users can still be monitoring contacts for the routers themselves, but not for the bandwidth service checks?

Absolutely. Hosts and Services are each alerting upon separately and maintain their own contact lists separate of each other.

Since our operations team (in the Operations contact group) is already a monitoring contact for the hosts, and because of that are automatically made into monitoring contacts for all the services, what is the easiest way to change it so they will receive all notifications for the host except bandwidth?

You should be able to just put a contact on that bandwidth alert, and it will not inherit from the host contact any longer.

I swear I tried that and it didn't work, which is the only reason I posted here. I went back and tried it again on a different host, and then 6 other hosts and it worked every time. I must have done something wrong or not submitted the changes or something the first time. Thanks, you can go ahead and lock this up.
