You could use a time exclusion in nagios.
In your time periods, make a copy of 24x7 calling it something different and 
use the exclusion.
Then, with your server/services, change the notification_period to that new 
time period to avoid receiving notifications during the reboot.
 
example, if you want to exclude notifications from 2am-3am, you would do this:
 
define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name windows-update
        alias           windows-update
        sunday          00:00-24:00
        monday          00:00-24:00
        tuesday         00:00-24:00
        wednesday       00:00-24:00
        thursday        00:00-24:00
        friday          00:00-24:00
        saturday        00:00-24:00
        exclude         reboot
        }

define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name reboot
        alias           reboot
        saturday        02:00-03:00
        }

Nagios will still show host and service messages, but won't send notifications 
in that time period.

Subject: [Nagios-users] How to Schedule regular weekly downtime?



I am monitoring a server that runs windows update and reboots every week
on Saturday at the same time.  Is there any way to schedule this
downtime without having to go enter it every week manually?
