Under what circumstances are you disabling notifications? If a host or
service is down and you don't want to receive further notifications,
acknowledge it. If you have upcoming maintenance and you don't want to
be notified, use scheduled downtime. Both of those actions require
comments which are associated with the host or service. Nagios will
automatically re-enable notifications when the host/service recovers or
comes out of scheduled downtime.
