Nagios Admin pages

[Seth Simmons]

Does your service/host checks have nagiosadmin either defined as a
contact or part of a contact group?

Hi Seth,

I understand it better now.  Thanks.  But I'm still getting the
notifications as nagiosadmin.  Any more ideas?

It's the other way around (assuming I'm understanding the question
correctly).

If you have a host defined and you tell it to use the generic-host
template and define a different parameter for that specific host, that
takes precedence.
For example, here is your generic-host template and a defined host.

define host{
        name                            generic-host
        notifications_enabled           1           
        event_handler_enabled           1           
        flap_detection_enabled          1           
        failure_prediction_enabled      1           
        process_perf_data               1           
        retain_status_information       1           
        retain_nonstatus_information    1           
    notification_period        24x7        
        register                        0
        }

define host{
    name                redhatserver
    use                generic-host
    notifications_enabled    0
    }

With the above host, it has notifications disabled; if that wasn't
defined for that host, it would use the value in the template.
Same applies for services.

Hi Seth,

Thanks for the link.  I've looked more closely at the definitions, and
it looks like since I have the "generic" service that I'm using that
comes stalk with Nagios, that's what I'm using.  That's what I'm
guessing anyway.  This begets a question.  If the other service
definitions "inherit" from the "generic" definition, it seems that the
"generic" service is the one that gets used, and has priority, not the
"inherited" one.  Is that correct?

Hi All,

How do I get nagiosadmin to stop receiving notifications that the other
admins get?  For example, the Windows guys get some that I don't need to
get.

Thanks for any pointers.
