Reporting on SCheduled Downtime

[Fred Kroeger]

Is there any way to go back and check if a host/service had been scheduled for downtime?
As part of an investigation, I need to report on the Downtime period and who scheduled it. I looked in the Audit log but couldn't find it there.

The history component written by Troy could maybe help you out?

Fred Kroeger, let us know if the history tab addon is the answer to your question.

Thanks Willem - & Troy for the Component!
It almost has the needed info. If I schedule downtime for a Host, then the entry appears in the History Tab.
However if I cancel the downtime from the Scheduled Downtime page , no entry is created for this. Is this a bug ?

Regards ... Fred

History on Scheduled downtime is currently a feature request for that component. I plan to update it soon, just been busy with other stuff ... if only I didn't need sleep

[Fred Kroeger]

Thanks Troy - It certainly is a great feature - so your efforts are much appreciated.
Currently the History does show when downtime is scheduled - what's missing is when downtime ends or gets cancelled.

What's also missing are other actions such as Enabling/Disabling notifications.

Fred, can you submit a review, and request these additions to the component on the Nagios Exchange?

This way, this will not "fall in the cracks", and Troy will have a reminder.

Nagios Exchange NEVER emails the owner of a project when someone submits a review, which makes it very hard to know when someone does.
I only find out about these by manually going and looking at each individual project

So I had some of that spare time up my sleeve and updated it. You can download it here:

Very nice Troy!

Just installed it. One small thing I noticed, is that it seems not possible to see who disabled or enabled notifications. The user is always 'Authorized User'.
