To disable the "Host UP" notification

[John Joseph]

Hi Hans 
  ThanksFor the mail 
   I did the changes in the contacts.cfg file , my
contacts.cfg file  is as below   

############################################
# 'aliasJose' contact definition 0
#
#Alias Mail
define contact{
        contact_name                    aliasJose
        alias                           aliasJoseph
        host_notification_period                24x7
        host_notification_options               d,u
        host_notification_commands             
notify-by-email
        service_notification_period             24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c
        service_notification_commands  
notify-by-email
        email

}



What I had observed is that , I gets this Host UP
notification  for the services which are  critical or
down , not for all the services , ie it has something
to do with services.cfg file , there also I had
removed the “r” options 
my services.cfg has the following
# 'procs-CPU-10%-20%' service definition 67
#
#
#service_id 414 
define service{
        service_description
