Ingore Alarms during a certain time

[peter19x]

Hello,

I have alarms that I want to be shown between working hours eg. 08:00 to 17:00 GMT, but I want Nagios XI to ignore these services if they raise any alarm outside this slot.

It is a possible thing to configure?

Thanks,
Peter

It would depend on what you mean by "ignore".

You can leverage the notification_interval in your service objects to fine-tune when you get notifications (via text, email, etc). Those settings should be under the "Alert Settings" tab in the Core Config Manager for a given service.

If you simply do not want Nagios XI to execute checks of any kind against specific service objects over a specific time period, you can change that service's check_period via the Core Config Manager under the "Check Settings" tab.

Thanks mcapra for the help.
You could create that Time Period like your example and add that to the Notification Period for the checks so you do not get notified during that period or you can add it to the check period and the check will not run either outside of the period.
