Yes, that's by design. Changes made through the GUI/external commands intentionally override config file settings. There's no way to prevent that from happening that I am aware of short of disabling external commands entirely. If you don't use state retention, specifically retain_nonstatus_information, then a reload/restart of nagios will reset all values to their config defaults. If you do retain_nonstatus_information then nagios will remember the new setting even across restarts. A better solution might be to create a notification period that excludes your maintenance windows so that the SE doesn't need to manually disable notifications. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
