Downtime, HistoryTab.zip

Post by bbailey6 »

Hi,

Is historytab.zip the only way to see downtime you previously scheduled? I had a host that came out of a flexible downtime window about 12 hours later than scheduled. I was looking for a way to see what I set. I was scheduling a lot of downtime last week and I am sure I fat fingered it but I wanted to know for sure.

p.s. I can't download the historytab.zip from the nagios exchange. Cannot open or open after saving as on Windows 7.

Thanks,

Ben

You can look in the nagios.log for info on scheduled downtime:

Code: Select all

cat /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log | perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime($1)/e' | grep SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME
p.s. I can't download the historytab.zip from the nagios exchange. Cannot open or open after saving as on Windows 7.
You don't need to open/extract the historytab.zip. You need to download it, and install the component by going to:

Admin->Manage Components->Browse->historytab.zip->Upload Component

hi lmiltchev,

Ah ok. So only way to see what you've done is either catting through the logs or the historytab? Nothing through the GUI?

Thanks

The Event Log in Nagios XI should show scheduled downtime history - just search for "downtime".
