However when we disable a notification service on the master ngaios and then do a reload of any of the slave servers it overwrites the status of the disabled services. I am looking for some ideas how to avoid this. Is it possible to say extract the status flags somehow before we do a slave to master update so that we can then re-apply the status flags immediately after update. Or is there an easier way to handle this situation. I am aware of the caveat of not restarting ngaios but just reloading but the disabled notifications seem to get replaced regardless of restart or reload

I'm not certain I fully understand what you mean by 'reload of any of the slaves overwrites the status of the disabled services' on the host? It sounds though like you don't have retain_nonstatus_information enabled...
