I am trying to schedule downtime and I am getting errors. I have tried it from two places, one is under system/downtown and the other place was just under the host. These are the errors I get for each place:
From - System/Downtime
Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command. Read the section of the documentation that deals with authentication and authorization in the CGIs for more information.
Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'!
The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands.
An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.
I am not sure what else to try.
I did find a form that said to run this but is did not work:
Thank you that worked like a charm. I do have one more question about downtime. How do I create child host? I am trying to schedule downtime for many hosts at once. I found a post that said if you want to do this you choose schedule triggered downtime for all child hosts. I am not sure how to get child hosts though. I have researched and have not found away to do this. I attached a screen shot of the section I am referring to.
