We have a user who monitors and gets alerts for many different services and would like to add a short custom message that varies depending on the service. Is it possible to create that and how to start if so.

Ok. thank you!

If I am able to define them as such should I leave the notification and Check periods blank for the hosts and just have them filled in for the services? I have a few other instances where services should use different time periods.

So PMC and HUP are different databases on the same server. They are expected to fail during the ETL process during the scheduled times. I have attached the notification reports. We can look at any one of the services. Once I have one figured out I should be able to figure the rest. The idea is I wan...

Sorry, can you tell me how to find this information? I am kind of working on the fly with this. Not to much background with me or anyone here to help train me.

So I have 2 sets of services running the same queries, just on separate databases. For one I tried using the recurring downtime and the other I switched the end from 24:00 to 23:59 and I received warnings during both expected down times.

Yeah I am still getting alerted during what I would expect to be outside of the the notification / check time. I will try 23:59 now.. I could go with the Recurring downtime but we have other Services we only want to check for 1 day. (Sunday AM for example)

I think I've created a Time Period that would not check during 4-5 each day. Can someone take a look at the screen shot and let me know if I am missing something?

Disregard. This works.

Thank you very much. I need to get myself to a training class for this.
