Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
Good day!
We need to disable all alerts and notifications for everything we monitor in Nagios xi for a specific period of time. We know how to individually but for all, can you help us?
Thanks and have a great day!
Ann

Go into the Process info in the UI and disable it there,

xi --> Admin --> System Information --> Monitoring Engine Status --> Monitoring Engine Process --> click on green colored icon right of Notifications to disable.

The status icon will change to Red to indicate disabled. Click on the same icon to enable notifications.

There is also an external command facility to issue the command through a script via cron or CLI.

You can also edit the file below and set enable_notifications=0 and restart nagios.

Hello,
Thank you both so much for your response, I appreciate it.
Have a great day!

How do you disable all monitoring for all hosts from the command line?
How to schedule downtime for all hosts and services from the command line?

Using the command pipe (nagios.cmd)

Click on
STOP_EXECUTING_HOST_CHECKS
or
SCHEDULE_HOSTGROUP_HOST_DOWNTIME (put all the hosts in a hostgroup)
for examples

Ok. Thanks

OP, can we mark this as resolved and lock the topic?
