[Nagios-users] Periodic downtime of a server

2008-09-22 Thread Klaus Umbach
Hi, How to I configure a periodic downtime of a server? My scenario: 7 groups of servers, each group gets rebooted on a specific weekday at 4am. (windows-servers, they reboot them before they crash!) If I change the check_period of the host to a timeperiod that excepts 3:30 - 4:30 I still get

It seems that you need to make dependencies for the services on the host status to limit the amount of notifications . Also it is possible - if you have a set interval for each group ( set schedule ) you can define a time period for each group to be checked. # 'exchange-servers' timeperiod

From what i read on the nagios documentation , host groups have no declaration for time periods . The time period should be defined in the host itself not the host group, http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#hostgroup On Monday 22 September 2008 12:06:26 Klaus
