There are several things that I do in situations like this, usually on the master server:
a) "Acknowledge" the service or host problem which will prevent notifications b) change the configuration to suppress the service check for this host or remove the host from the configuration and restart Nagios on both host and slave (distributed) servers c) I believe that you can also schedule "downtime" for either host or specific service Of course in each situation above you have to remember to reverse the change once the service/host is available again.

If anyone has information on this I would appreciate it. Thank you -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am running a Distributed Nagios configuration. On each of my passive service checks I am also doing freshness checks just encase the distributed host goes down and can't run the check. I am able to log into the distributed hosts Web Interface and shut off active checks if I don't want to run checks for a temporary amount of time on a specific hosts and it is service with one click to disable active checks for all services. This works with out any problems but once my freshness checks is hit the Centralized Nagios hosts starts doing the active checks because it doesn't receive an update from the Distributed Hosts. I am aware this is what should be happening and it is working great. Is there a way to disable the freshness check for all the services for a host just like you can for active checks? I know if I shut off receiving passive checks for one service this disables the freshness checks. Has someone configured a patch or know how to activate this feature to disable passive checks for all services on a host through the Nagios cgi.
