recurring scheduled downtime notification

Post by JohnFLi »

I have several systems that are setup in 'recurring downtime' (which is fine)
BUT
most do not send out a notification (which is good) but some do
Notification Type: DOWNTIMESTART
Notification Type: DOWNTIMEEND
I do not want to get notified about when they enter and exit the scedualled downtime.

how to I make it do it doesn't send these?

Hello,

Check out this article.
https://nagiosenterprises.my.site.com/s ... I-dea54a4a

Also, I seen this message elsewhere on the internet.
" How Scheduled Downtime Affects Notifications

When a host or service is in a period of scheduled downtime, Nagios will not allow normal notifications to be sent out for the host or service. However, a "DOWNTIMESTART" notification will get sent out for the host or service, which will serve to put any admins on notice that they won't receive upcoming problem alerts.

When the scheduled downtime is over, Nagios will allow normal notifications to be sent out for the host or service again. A "DOWNTIMEEND" notification will get sent out notifying admins that the scheduled downtime is over, and they will start receiving normal alerts again.

If the scheduled downtime is cancelled prematurely (before it expires), a "DOWNTIMECANCELLED" notification will get sent out to the appropriate admins. "

May be a default setting.

Hope that helps!

thanks, but it doesn't really help....

I have many of these downtimes, but I have only 1 that is telling me that downtime is start/ending.

I suppose one way around this is to create a new 'check period'
