Hi Michael, so what do you mean with ignore? If it's showing OK, you can ignore the host, don't you? If you don't use a check_command, what should be shown in the Web-interface? Or do you want the hosts be hidden from the Webinterface? How do you want to hide them? If from the GUI, how would you reenable the host? Or do you want to "disable" the hosts(s) programmatically? Would be a reload of Icinga2 a problem then?
Though I don't really understand, what you are trying to achieve, you may play around with parameter "check_period" and create a timeperiod "never". brgds Kai >>> On 18.10.2016 at 03:17, Michael Martinez <mwt...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Kai, > > Yes, I understand that.
