I just removed the default alert section. That way I only get notified for systems/pages that I specifically call out in the alerts.cfg file.

We currently monitor (ping) our AP's and it would really suck to get over 1000 emails if/when something goes down, so I exclude them as follows:
You can exclude pages from you alerts in two ways:
1.) above all other alerts add: PAGE=<yourpage/yoursubpage> Add nothing for action, and that's it.
2.) On your bottom (default) alert action append the following: EXPAGE=<yourpage/yoursubpage>
