Disabling a host from all checks

[tnelsonp at comcast.net]

Alex, 

I recently had to do the same on one of my Nagios systems (v3.5.0 on a Centos 6.4 host). From the Nagios Admin web page (xx.xx.xx.xx/nagios), select Hosts, select the host that was removed. On the right side of the page is a list of Host Commands where you can 'Disable active checks of this host' and 'Disable notifications for this host'. The same can be performed for services and checks, but I am not sure if they are needed once you disable active checks. I didn't go that far when I removed the host. 

Regards

Subject: [Nagios-users] Disabling a host from all checks 

Hi, 

I have a nagios-3.4.4 system on fc17 that's working properly. I 
physically removed a server without scheduling downtime or indicating 
to nagios to disable all checks. 

Now that the server has been removed, I'm receiving these constant 
alerts saying the host is down and "connection refused" on all 
services. 

How can I remove this host from nagios checks without having to edit 
the configuration file and removing all references to the hostname in 
all of them? 

I'm hoping there's an easier way. If it was possible, I'd put the host 
back into production, let nagios check all the services, then mark the 
system to not check this host, but I can't. 

Any ideas greatly appreciated. 
Thanks, 
Alex
