Disabling a host from all checks

[MAHONEY, DANIEL]

I don't know how kosher this is, but I worked around that issue by disabling active checks and disabling notifications, then entering a passive check that showed the host as up.  That way I wouldn't see reports about the downed system until I re-enabled active checks.

Thanks for the info. I've done this, but the host and all services
were still being reported as down. This was particularly evident in
the firefox nagios monitor plugin, so the host is still reported being
available for status by nagios.

It was indeed necessary for me to remove the configuration for this
host, including my escalations, services, and hosts file.

Had I stopped monitoring it before the host went down, none of that
would have been necessary, but there was no way to bring it back up.

Thanks,
Alex
