Ignoring a particular alarm (on purpose)?

[jeff vier]

Here's a weird one.

I have a request to be able to filter out a particular alarm on the
Service Status Page.

The problem is that I have Nagios set up to watch for Windows Update
(WU) availability, but it can take WEEKS for the Windows Admin to roll
them out to all the Windows Servers.  So, in the interim, we're staring
down a few hundred WU alerts.

A couple of the folks in the NOC have asked if there's a way to not see
them (but still see everything else).

I figure I *COULD* code it out of the cgi, but then why watch for the
WUs at all (we don't page on them).

Any idea?  (regex filter that can be passed arbitrary values via GET
variables? *fingers crossed*)

Thanks for any help.
