My question would be then, why monitor them at all? Or you could set then in a 
"qa" group that sends no alert at all, only viewable on the web interface

Unfortunately interval time may not be the best method since dev/qa people can 
power their servers on and off when they want.  So they could power them on for 
the weekend if they're working, or they may power them off during a workday if 
they have the day off.

Hello,

There are two things you could do about that:

1. Set the check_period attribute for those Host and Service objects – this way 
Icinga will only run checks during whatever interval you specify in that 
TimePeriod object.
2. Set the period attribute for whatever Notification objects you have for 
those hosts and services – that way Icinga will still check those hosts and 
services, however it will only send notifications according to the intervals in 
the TimePeriod object.

Kind regards,
Gunnar

I have Icinga setup to monitor our production instances in AWS, but we also 
have dev/qa resources that get shut off every night.  I haven't been monitoring 
them because as soon as they power off I get flooded with alerts.


Is there a way to monitor servers only when they are powered on?


Thanks
Matt
