Hi There,

I configured recurring scheduled downtime for when backups run every night, which is a great feature. The only problem is that I now get emails every day informing me of it.

Is there a way I can disable the email for hosts and services alerts for recurring scheduled downtime?

Thanks

This can be done on the host, service, template, or contact level. The attached screenshot shows the alert/notifications settings that are on the xiwizard_generic_service template for example which would apply to any service that may be using this template that doesn't specify it's own settings.

Note that the lack of anything selected under "Notification options" will default to "all" state so this template will send notification for all these states. To disable scheduled downtime notifications you would select anything/everything BUT "Scheduled Downtime".

Thanks, this works quite well.
