[Check_mk (english)] suppress Downtime notifications?

[Austin, Gordon]

Hi all. I have started setting Downtime on many hosts during a booking. The idea of course is to suppress notifications (about problems on those hosts) during the booking.
However, we still get two notification (email) per server, one for Downtime Start (UP) and one for Downtime End (UP).

Is there a way (preferably a built in option I've overlooked) to prevent these Downtime Start/End notifications?
They are partly defeating the purpose of Downtime.

Hi Gord,

Best check your notification rules.
It could be you've got a checkmark at "Start or end of a scheduled downtime" in your notification rules.

Kind regards,

Arno Wijnhoven

There is a checkbox in the notification rules. (Start/end of downtime)

Edit the notification rule and under 'Conditions' check the
'Match service event type' and uncheck the
'Start or end of a scheduled downtime' event.
You may have to do the same with 'Match host event type'.
Experiment to see which one(s) work for you.

Yes, you can select which events generate notifications.
