How to disable scheduled report functionality

[rferebee]

Good afternoon,

My Nagios XI test server is sending out scheduled reports duplicated from my production server. Every week we restore a backup of the production server to our test server so we have a fail over available if needed.

I'm hoping there's a way I can disable e-mail sending on my test server. Perhaps in the CLI? Preferably someway that won't get overwritten every week when we restore the production backup to the test server.

Thank you.

Hello @rferebee,

The scheduled reports are handled by cron. You could stop the cron service or edit the crontab file and comment out the jobs. Run the following command to view the scheduled jobs ( -e to edit ).

Code: Select all

crontab -u apache -l

The problem with stopping cron is that this will affect other operations on the server such as database maintenance, so editing the contrab for scheduled reports is the better option.

Perfect, that will work. Thank you.

You can lock this.
