Question relating scheduling downtime

[Herazio]

Dear all

I'm new to the boards, and quite frankly also new to Nagios. I've used it before back whenever I was in college and it thought me the magic of pro-active monitoring. Thank god for that!

Now I seem to be having a problem. At my firm we have a couple of servers that restart itself daily, this is however a "scheduled downtime". Now the problem that I seem to be having is that Nagios can schedule downtime, but only for 1 occasion as far as I know.

Does anyone here know if it's possible to have a dynamic downtime scheduled for let's say each day at 7:30 till 7:35 or so? It would be handy because otherwise the notifications will just barge into our mailboxes.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Kind regards

Our answer was to define a custom time period for boxes with specific reboot schedules.

If you know box A will reboot at 2100 on MWF, and will take approximately 30 minutes to get all services up 100%, then you use timeperiods to define it.
