Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

I need to disable the notifications for all my checks for all the users since I finish some task on my NagiosXI.

Which would be the best way to do it?

I was thinking on:

1) Disable notifications for all users as explained here:

-- Contact Notification preferences
|-- Un check email notifications

2) Otherwise I thought that if it is possible I could also disable them from 'bulk modifications' and do it for all my hosts/services on Nagios XI

Any recommendation will be great for me.

Thanks in advance,

Definitely go with your first instinct "-- Contact Notification preferences --|-- Un check email notifications--"
This will be far easier to manage than disabling on all the hosts + services directly.
If you have admin privileges then you don't have to masquerade as a user to make this change. Simply go about it as seen here:

Hi bwallace - I see what you are saying. However, I though that this configuration needed to be done from the 'contact' (ccm-> contacts-> alerts settings -> service/hosts nortifications off) because I have a similar situation in the past and the users didn't exist just the contact.

Please let me know if I am being clear with this.

Regards,

I believe that method of disable notifications only applies to the XI notification handlers, other stuff falls through to notify-*-by-email is still going to use the contact email.

I was unaware you were talking about a 'contact only' and in that case yes you are correct. Disable under CCM > Contacts <contact name> Alert Settings >
Host/ Service Notifications Enabled = off

Great @bwallace - I wanted to validate that I was correct.

Thanks - You can close this thread.
