Schedule Downtime Multiple Hosts

[sboots01]

Is there a way in Nagiosxi to schedule downtime for multiple hosts at the same time prior to a maintenance window and the systems going down, instead of having to do them one by one?

It's not obvious that it should be there, but if you go to Home -> Mass Acknowledge there is a dropdown for Schedule Downtime, and checkboxes for the hosts/services.

Or when the hosts you want to set in downtime are in a hostgroup, you can use hostgroup command to schedule downtime for all hosts or services in the hostgroup. Go to Hostgroup Summary and click the black 'hostgroup commands' icon. In the next screen you can schedule downtime for all hosts in this hostgroup.
