I wonder if someone can advise on the following issue.

I have the requirement to implement so quite complex pager schedules that involve a number of time periods that combine different times,days of the week & months of the year.
Creating the time periods itself is not the issue I believe I have manged to achieve that with a series of includes and excludes.

The problem I have is making sure that when pager notification fires in the time period specified an e-mail is also generated and sent 24x7.

Can someone confirm my logic that the notification period specified in a contact group will work as long as it falls within the notification time period specified in the check ?

for example
check notification period is 24x7
contactgroups are pager and e-mail
pager notification period is 17:00-2400
e-mail notification period is 24x7

I want to be sure the pager does not fire 24x7

Thanks!

This sounds like everything should be correct. The one difference that I might suggest depending on if pagers and email notifications are in the same contact group but different contacts, would be to define 24x7 for the group and on the pagers apply their own time periods in the standard fashion, no + or null, to only send during that time. If these are separate contact groups for pagers and email, having the check notifications on 24x7 and each respective group with their own notification times, this should work fine! Please let us know if it does not, and we would like need to see a copy of your configs at that point too.

Thanks for the response!

I will test the configs and let you know the outcome.

Great. Let us know.
