Using time periods with services checks

[Frédéric GRANAT]

I'm sorry but, none of the 3 methods works.
For each test, I made the modifications on the time period and delete/create my service check.

Here are the services status for the 3 methods
Method 1 (tuesday 1 - wednesday 1 exlude tuesday) : Service check is pending... Check is scheduled for 2012-12-04 00:00:00
Method 2 (wednesday 1 - tuesday 1 exlude tuesday) : No check results for service yet...
Method 3 (day 2- day 8 exclude everyday but wednesday): Service check is pending... Check is scheduled for 2012-12-02 00:00:00

Thanks to propose a method that has been tested.

Rgds,

Frederic

Provided you restarted nagios, what is the next check time set to for?
host_name W2K8-SRVBACKUP.cg.ahp
service_description export_system_state_m1

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Last check : 2012-12-03 16:30:42
Status information : Job: [EXPORT]-System State, last result 7/11/2012 is older than 3 days
Same message from the three checks.

That's not normal, the check shouldn't have occured today but wednesday.
The backup job is planned for tomorrow.

[scottwilkerson]

from the Status detail page I want to know what it says in the field for

Code: Select all

Next Check:

not last check, that could be from before it was changed...

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Status Details
Service State: Critical
Duration: 16h 20m 55s

Last Check: 2012-12-04 08:29:40
