I have something similar that needs to run twice a day. I used time
periods and a service template to control when it runs:
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name twicedaily
alias For Running 2x Daily
monday 08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
tuesday 08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
wednesday 08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
thursday 08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
friday 08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
saturday 08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
sunday 08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
}
define service{
name generic-twice-daily
use generic-service
normal_check_interval 30
register 0
max_check_attempts 1
check_period twicedaily
}
All checks using this template kick off at 8:40 & 19:50. Since
normal_check_interval is greater than the time period windows, it will
only run once per window.
If there's a better way to do it, I'd like to know as well.
