Nagios Support Forum

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if there is a way to create adaptive thresholds in Nagios for monitoring according to the time of the day. For example I want to have a different thresholds during the day and during the night. I know one solution can probably be to create separate config files and rotate them on a schedule, but this is not ideal. Are there any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

That would be the easiest way to do it. It's not something built into XI or Core.

You could write a wrapper script for the plugin, and pass different thresholds depending on the time.
