Default timeperiod used?

Post by alceryes »

If I don't define a timeperiod for a service does nagios automatically use 24x7 or is there a default timeperiod alias that it uses?
TIA.

More or less 24x7, yes :)
If you do not use the check_period directive to specify a timeperiod, Nagios will be able to schedule active checks of the host or service anytime it needs to. This is essentially a 24x7 monitoring scenario.
