timeperiod not working ..
Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2020 1:56 pm
Hi everyone
Coming from a xymon / hobbit user
I just installed nagios core for the first time .. and i have to say I LOVE it so far.
Just need to get used to how it works but its doing the job and its user friendly.
However I am having issues with the timeperiod parameter.
I have searched tried .. restarted etc and still my timeperiods are not working as expected ..
I am guessing I have a config issue going on or what I am expect to see is wrong.
I defined a timeperoid in timeperiods.cfg ..
This is set up to only check from 5am to 530am .. once a day monday - friday.
I have the time period specified like so.
when I look at the host it says
Next Scheduled Active Check: 06-16-2020 12:01:39
I am expecting it to say 5am per the time period.
Or am I missing something?
Thanks
Looking forward to getting to know nagios and the rest of the nagios community.
