Hi everyone 👋

I have re-installed a server and simply moved /etc/icinga\* to the new machine. Monitoring itself works as expected, but the server now also sends monitoring emails. I wonder why that is and how to disable it.

I wonder even more why it suddenly sends mail (and no other server does in my setup).

Cheers

Just run `icinga2 feature disable notification`.

Yeah, that will probably turn off notifications. But what does it exactly? Remove notifications from `features-enabled`? Would that be the default on a fresh Ubuntu LTS installation?
