Is there a away to over right the alert settings set in the host and service CCM.
I am trying to configure alerts and notifications and find that user "nagiosadmin" has been added to all my host and services.

this is probably because "Myself" was selected when running the wizard when setting them up.

You can remove contacts in bulk via CCM -> Tools -> Bulk Modifications -> Remove a contact

Is there a way to over write local object variables ?

Not in bulk.

Probably the easiest way to do this would be to copy the config files you want to update from /usr/local/nagios/etc/services or /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts make the variable changes, and then drop the files in /usr/local/nagios/etc/import then click Apply Configuration in the UI, this will import the new configs overwriting the existing configs in the DB.

I would suggest taking a backup before making drastic changes this way...
