We've defined the following time period for use with a service which we
know to be down between 9am and 10am every day:
========== BEGIN CODE SNIPPET ==========
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name do_not_notify_bw_9am_10am
alias Every day and time, except 9am-10am
sunday 00:00-8:59,10:01-24:00
monday 00:00-8:59,10:01-24:00
tuesday 00:00-8:59,10:01-24:00
wednesday 00:00-8:59,10:01-24:00
thursday 00:00-8:59,10:01-24:00
friday 00:00-8:59,10:01-24:00
saturday 00:00-8:59,10:01-24:00
}
========== END CODE SNIPPET ==========
We then applied it to a service like so:
========== BEGIN CODE SNIPPET ==========
define service {
host_name our-special-host
service_description Check status of MySQL
reporting:3307
check_command check_mysql_service!16105
use generic-service
notification_period do_not_notify_bw_9am_10am
notification_interval 0
contact_groups company-admins
}
========== END CODE SNIPPET ==========
Oddly, the service continues to give us notifications during that time
interval. We tried setting check_interval instead of
notification_interval, but still no luck. We also tried setting both
{notification,check}_interval, but again, no luck.
To preempt the obvious question, yes, we did restart
Nagios. Additionally, to ensure that the time period was indeed
getting attached to the service, we used to GUI page to browse to
"Configuration" -> "View Config" -> "Object Type: Services" and
verified that the columns entitled "Check Period" and "Notification
Period" had "do_not_notify_bw_9am_10am" instead of the usual "24x7".
Despite all this, we're still getting warnings during this time
interval.
As a quick fix, we can use SCHEDULE_SVC_DOWNTIME with
/var/lib/nagios2/rw/nagios.cmd, which does work; but it definitely
doesn't feel like a permanent solution.
