contact options

[DiNisco, Jeff]

yeah, I tried that but it still doesn't seem to be working.  I was under the impression that the last notification filter was the contact list.  I'm still getting emails for the "admin" user and "dinisj" is getting emails at night.  Thanks for the help...

# Jeff DiNisco contact definition
define contact{
        contact_name                    dinisj
        alias                           Jeff DiNisco

        }

# never timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{

        alias           No Time Is A Good Time
        }

Use the notification_period or notification_optins to supress notifications;

define contact {
name                            web-contact
alias                           Web-user
service_notification_period     none
host_notification_period        none
service_notification_options    n
host_notification_options       n
service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
email                           foo at foo.com
register                        0
}

define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name                none
alias                          No Time Is A Good Time
}
