NagiosXi - Time periods ranges

[Bala.Mutyam]

Hi,

Is it possible to include Time period ranges like Monday - Friday as Time Definition and 07:00-19:00 as Time Range. I have tired but giving an error "Error: Could not parse timerange #1 for day 1 of timeperiod (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg', starting on line 53)" .

Also can we also have run checks for 24/7 but send alerts for a particular time period (say 0:700-19:00) and for a specific group?

monday - friday wouldn't be valid, you would need to add each day separately.

There are a lot of different ranges that are valid but that isn't one that exists

@scottwilkerson - Thanks for the update.

Also possible to run checks for 24/7 and only send alerts between 7:00-19:00 for a particular hostgroups?

[scottwilkerson]

Yes, you can set a separate time-period for notifications when editing a host/service in the CCM
Alert Settings Tab -> Notification period

@scottwilkerson - Thanks for the update.

For some reason notification is not working.
Here are the definitions:

timeperiod:

Code: Select all

define timeperiod {
    timeperiod_name         cp-standard-timeperiod
    alias                   CP standard timings
    monday                  07:00-19:00
    tuesday                 07:00-19:00
    wednesday               07:00-19:00
    thursday                07:00-19:00
    friday                  07:00-19:00
}

Service:

Code: Select all

define service {
    host_name                 server_name
    service_description      Local Disks
    check_command            check_xi_ncpa!-t 'NagiosXi' -P 5693 -M 'plugins/check_disk' -q 'args=-l -w 20% -c 10%'
    max_check_attempts       2
    check_interval           5
    retry_interval           1
    check_period             24x7
    notification_interval    5
    notification_period      cp-standard-timeperiod
    contact_groups           Linux-Alerts
    register                 1
}

contactsgroup:

Code: Select all

define contactgroup {
    contactgroup_name    Linux-Alerts
    alias                Linux Systems Alerts
    members              member1,member2
}

As per the definitions, we are supposed to receive alerts from 7am to 7pm but we are not receiving any alerts? please have a look.

Do the notification events show up in the Notification Log & State History?

[Bala.Mutyam]

I can see events in the Notifications but nothing in state log on NagiosXi under Reports.

[scottwilkerson]

Are the notifications for member1,member2 on server_name Local Disks?

[Bala.Mutyam]

Yes.

[scottwilkerson]

Can you verify that member1 and member2 have all the correct items set in their Notification settings, see page 2,3 here

make sure the notification method and preferences are set to receive the types you want.
