Hey guys!
Is it possible to disable passive and active checks and notifications from the command line?
I backup my pri server and restore it to the secondary, and I want to add line(s) to it that will disable the above for me so the restored server wont fire up running checks and sending notifications.
Thanks!

You can simply modify the main config file (nagios.cfg), and set:

# To disable active host/service checks

Code: Select all

execute_host_checks=0
execute_service_checks=0

# To stop accepting host/service passive checks

Code: Select all

accept_passive_host_checks=0
accept_passive_service_checks=0

# To disable notifications globally

Code: Select all

enable_notifications=0

Then restart nagios.

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

To learn more about the main configuration file options, please review our official Nagios Core documentation here:
