When I set active_checks_enabled 0 and notifications_enabled 0 I still see the host appear in the web interface (for example status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=overview) with a green status cell saying "UP" and a green services cell saying "1 OK". This seems misleading if in fact the host is truly disabled. I think the boxes should be greyed out and say "N/A" and not give the impression that the host is OK. Or else they host should not even appear in the web interface if it is truly "disabled". Currently, the only way I know to stop it appearing from the interface is to comment it completely out of hosts.cfg, services.cfg, escalations.cfg (if it is in there), and hostgroups.cfg, which is a tedious/laborious process.
