Thanks, but I don't see how that's different than I already stated as an 
option, but mainly rejected for clumsy-ness;

Essentially, I already do this, but the time-period excludes [IMO] too much 
time in an effort to cover all the hosts/services together and limit the number 
of time-periods. IMO, that's like killing flies with an axe. It works [kinda], 
but leaves [big] marks on the furniture. I'd hoped there was some more elegant 
method.

Under ‘WATO’ select ‘Notifications’ and define a time period the service should 
notify.

Under ‘WATO’ select ‘Host & Service Parameters’ and search for ‘Notification 
period of services’, where you can pair the time period and the service, 
including limiting by folder and/or host.

Subject: [omd-users] Scheduled downtime

I've looked for quite some time, but can't find a way to accomplish it - but, 
for example;

I might have a single host/service that's down from 1a-1.30a and I'd like to 
either/or suppress notifications or checks [Either would be fine, though 
knowing how to do either, depending on situation, would be best.]

Obviously, one can create a time-period that excludes the "down" time and apply 
that to either the notification/excalation or the check. 

But that's a hassle if you have a lot of services/hosts that have a different 
time-period for their downtime - you end up creating a bunch of one-off 
time-periods and each service/host has it's own time-period. That's easy to 
screw-up, in so many ways. [Or you can create one time-period that excludes a 
wider time, and can handle more than one service/host - but that may be less 
granular than desired.]

There doesn't seem to be a way to handle this elegantly in Nagios, but perhaps 
OMD has some features/options I'm not aware of. [Or perhaps I'm missing 
something obvious in Nagios.]

What options exist to handle this?

TIA
