Time periods

[MOHANREDDY]

Hi,

i have 2 services checking the same folder with different time periods, 1 time period from 6:00 AM to 18:00 PM and other from 18:00 PM to next day 6 AM.

I have configured them as below.

define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name Non Production hours
alias Non Production hours
friday 18:00-24:00
saturday 00:00-24:00
sunday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-06:00
monday 18:00-06:00
tuesday 18:00-06:00
wednesday 18:00-06:00
thursday 18:00-06:00
}

define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name Production hours
alias Production hours
monday 06:00-18:00
tuesday 06:00-18:00
wednesday 06:00-18:00
thursday 06:00-18:00
friday 06:00-18:00
}

Is my non production hours time period setting correct?

as i am not receiving alerts with that time period.

No, timeperiods cannot wrap past midnight

You would need to adjust to something like the following

Code: Select all

define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name Non Production hours
alias Non Production hours
saturday 00:00-24:00
sunday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-06:00,18:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-06:00,18:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-06:00,18:00-24:00
thursday 00:00-06:00,18:00-24:00
friday 00:00-06:00,18:00-24:00
}

I don't understand the question, could you clarify what you are referring to?

For a service i used this time period

define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name Non Production hours
alias Non Production hours
friday 18:00-24:00
saturday 00:00-24:00
sunday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-06:00
monday 18:00-06:00
tuesday 18:00-06:00
wednesday 18:00-06:00
thursday 18:00-06:00
}

I didn't receive an alert but when i check state history report critical alert was reported at 21:24.

so my question is, does nagios alerts customers irrespective of wrong time periods?

I mentioned before that you cannot have timeperiods that span across the midnight boundary, as such 18:00-06:00 isn't valid.

Additionally, there is the check timeperiod, and the notification timeperiod

Which of these are you using this timeperiod for?

I suspect that entering something like 18:00-06:00 would end up being interpreted as 18:00-24:00 but I am not 100% sure as it is know to be invalid

[MOHANREDDY]

I had used 18:00 - 06:00 as notification time period, even if it interprets 18:00 - 06:00 as 18:00-24:00 i didn't get any around 21:24 which is in 18:00-24:00 time period.

[scottwilkerson]

As I stated,

I am not 100% sure as it is know to be invalid

I would suggest replacing the timeperiod with my suggestions.
