Nagios Support Forum

Hello:
Now that I have close to 300 Hosts that identify over 800 monitored services on my Nagios XI 2014R1.2 server, and all appears to be working with no issues(!), is there a way to change the settings, specifically Notifications settings, all at once on those servers so they no longer use my account for notification (this was a Test environment now going into Production) but our Standby e-mail account, and if so, how, please? Hopefully, this isn't going to require me changing each Host and/or Service one at a time.
Thank you.

I just may have found it:
Configure - CCM - Tools - Bulk Modifications - Add A Contact
etc.

I'll give this a try and will post result.

It appears that the "Bulk Modifications Tool" worked great for adding additional Contacts, and for adding "active_checks_enabled" and "notification_enabled", which appear to correspond with a Host's
"Active checks enabled" and "Event handler enabled" in the "Check Settings" tab, but not the Host's "Alert Settings" tab - "Notification enabled:" and "Notification options:", or the Service's "Notification options".

Can those last items be added to the Bulk Modifications' "Change A Single Config Option", or is there a way to bulk add those items to all my Hosts and Services (Host's Alert Settings tab - Notification enabled, etc.)?

I can certainly put in a feature request for those, we're working towards fleshing out some more options with Bulk mod, added a few more with the 2014 released version. Other than that I'd have to recommend templating some of those out and adding the templates to your objects, all you'd need to do then is edit the template itself to effect bulk changes.
