Time Period

[BanditBBS]

If I put in a time period

Code: Select all

monday 06:30-03:30

will that work, is Nagios smart enough to know I mean Monday 6:30am through Tuesday 3:30am? Or do I need to do

Code: Select all

monday 06:30-11:59
tuesday 00:00-03:30

Thanks!

EDIT: My end goal is to do Monday-6:30am through 3:30am Friday

Neither!

We use a 24-hour clock, but the second one is closer in practice to what you want.

Code: Select all

monday  06:30-24:00
tuesday 00:00-03:30

I think it's better that way because a lot of people will forget to use the 24-hour and shoot themselves in the foot This just catches some of those backward-in-time errors.

DANGIT! I know we use 24 hour! That was just me hurrying

Wait a sec....you edited as I was quoting you! 24:00 is valid instead of 23:59?

[tmcdonald]

Ha! You fell into my trap!

Actually yea, looking at the documentation and timeperiods.cfg you would use 24:00 to end the day and 00:00 to start it, but they are the same time. I think it's really a great metaphor for life.

Alrighty, close her up!
