Scripted downtime question

[Ian Collier]

Hi,

We've been happily using nagios for a year and a half or so to monitor a
number of high performance linux clusters (total 200 nodes or so), plus
infrastructure hosts. All works nicely and it is highlighting issues well
before they become critical.

One thing I have not found good solutions for is down time for cluster
nodes.

Sometimes they are down briefly for maintenance, os reinstalls etc, and
turning off checks in the GUI sort of works, most of the time. But we also
turn machines off automatically, from other management software when they
are not needed for a while.

Does anyone have a way to script turning off checks and notifications for
individual hosts or hostgroups? The only way I have identified is the GUI.
If it is there built in I have failed to identify it in the docs.

Thanks,

--Ian
