Schedule downtime

Post by cts »

I set up a downtime for all host and services and was wondering why some people still received alerts. I set it up as myself since I have admin rights, but was wondering should I have logged in as Admin? Reason being I only received one alert via text message while others got anywhere from 20 to 110. For the most part it worked since there was over 2750 notifications and only about 100 were sent out. Let me know if there is something else I need to do so that none are sent during a scheduled downtime. t/u

What alerts were received? Critical, Warning, Downtime? Downtime would certainly be expected.

Could you post in a code block the portion of the nagios.log right before/after things went into downtime? We are looking to make sure the hosts didn't have issues before going into downtime.

Event handlers could also cause this. Do you have any set up?

Could you post in a code block the service definition for one of the services that alerted?

Ok I cut information from before and during. Would like to not have it send out Service & Host notifications to users during the downtime. I thought I had set it to do nothing... t/u

I think I understand the issue, but just to be sure, what alerts were received: Critical, Warning, Downtime? Event handlers could also cause this. Do you have any set up? Could you post in a code block the service definition for one of the services that alerted?

If it was just the downtime that was received, then each user can turn those off in their notifications settings. Please see the screenshot.

Well I just looked again and it looks like it should work for those also...
