[Nagios-users] Mass Acknowledge a Service

[steve f <a31...@ho...>]

I have a check that checks the size of multiple partitions and we recently added some data that surpassed the threshold value and I have over 100 clients alerting.  There is nothing I can do about the space issue, it will go back to normal in a few weeks.

Is it possible to acknowledge all 100 at once?  I do have a service group associated with this check but dont see that it can be ack'ed all at once.  Is it possible to edit the status.dat file with a reference to a host group instead of a host name to accomplish this? :

servicecomment {
        host_name=strxxxxxxxx

       host_group = GROUPNAME HERE

        service_description=Legacy Partition Size
        entry_type=4
        comment_id=129
        source=0
        persistent=0
        entry_time=1305654252
        expires=0
        expire_time=0
