Disabling notifications for a host in Check_MK

Question

I'm losing my mind trying to disable notifications for a specific host in Check_MK. For example, I want the host to be monitored - show up on the network topology and be able to see the problems on the host via the Check_MK views, but I don't want the server to send me an e-mail every time the host is disconnected and such things.

Am i missing something simple or is there a roundabout way of doing this?

Answer 1

Do these:

1. Search for the host name on the main check_mk UI
2. Click on the hammer icon on the top (located under the page title "Services of Host ").
3. The UI that comes up is self-explanatory. You can either schedule a down time for the hosts (checks will be disabled) or you can simply disable notifications for selected or all of your services on that host.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I would recommend to go to your Email Notifications: WATO -> Notification and search for the Exclude the following Hosts. Just put the Hostname in there!
