downtime large number of hosts?

[Jayson Broughton]

We have some linux servers here that peg-out on CPU/Mem when they are doing
a full backup, so I have used the wonderful 'Nagios External Command List'
website to custom tailor my alert notifications for hosts/hostgroups every
day during a certain time.  Specifically the DISABLE_HOST_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS
and DISABLE_HOST_SVC_CHECKS.  Then when it's time to re-monitor, a crontab
entry runs: ENABLE_HOST_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS & ENABLE_HOST_SVC_CHECKS.

Check out those 4 options on:
http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php

The examples give you an excellent base script to work off of.

If they are all in the same hostgroup you can click on the hostgroup  
name (in ()'s) and schedule downtime for all of them at once,  
otherwise, no not that I am aware of outside of  some simple scripting  
to send the appropriate external command for each host through the  
external command file.
