Re: [Nagios-devel] RFE: Repeated Scheduled Downtime

Post by Guest »

The way Nagios handles this is through the notification_timeperiod
setting of a service/host. You can create a timeperiod with that
section of time missing, for example:

define timeperiod{
name thurday_dt_timperiod
monday 00:00-24:00

.
thursday 00:00-17:00, 19:00-24:00
...
}

So for every day except thursday, you set to 00:00-24:00, and for
thursday you leave out the 2 hours you know if will be down. Use the
name of this timeperiod definition for your notification_timeperiod setting.
