local and global event_handlers

[vvz]

Hello!
quick question - to enable local_event_handler we have to enable global_event_handler option in main config file.
In this case we are getting one event from global and one more from local event handler in /var/log/messages.
For sure I can assign fake script for global event handler, but - is there better way to get events only for local event handler (host or service)?
Thank you

Well, I believe global event handlers are either on, or off, they are most typically seen as notification commands that are responsible for sending out email/sms/etc alerts upon host/service state changes. Though you can set up standard event handlers on a case by case basis as well. So, after that spiel, are you sure you want to disable them? If so, you can certainly do so that way.

no, it was just a question.

Fair enough, I just wanted to make sure you understood it correctly, do you have further questions on it?
