test/dev instance

Maybe I am not searching the correct syntax...

I just stood up a test/dev instance of my Nagios XI environment.. ie... made a vm clone, re-ip'd the the clone.

So now I have identical test copies of my Nagios XI, Network Analyzer and Log Server.. but need to turn off email notification from them...

Where do I do that from?
Thanks,
Gale Price

Disabling the notifications globally is easy in Nagios XI. Go to Admin > System Information > Monitoring Engine Status, and click on the "Disable" action button (the "x") next to "Notifications".

In Nagios Network Analyzer and Nagios Log Server, there is no easy way to turn off notifications "globally".

In NNA, you could edit your alerts (e.g. removing the email users) or you could edit your users (e.g. removing their actual email, and replacing it with a "fake" or "test" email).

In NLS, you could do the same (as in NNA). You could also go to Admin > System > Command Subsystem, and edit the "run_all_alerts" system job, setting the "Next Run Time" to be way ahead in the future, e.g. a year from now.

Hope this helps.
