MRTG system reporting

With the mrtg Cron job on our Nagios server: any time we have scheduled downtime for services, or entire hosts, we get every single SNMPGET Problem reported to us via e-mail every 5 minutes. How do we turn off specific errors, like this one, altogether?

Are you talking about receiving the cron job emails for the failures?
If so, this may help:

like so:

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * * root LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --lock-file /var/lib/mrtg/mrtg.lock --confcache-file /var/lib/mrtg/mrtg.ok --user=nagios --group=nagios >/dev/null 2>&1

Hope that helps!
