Hi Luke,
hi List,

sorry for Topposting but actual I only want to drop a note about this.

A few weeks ago a few user from a german forum pointed me to this problem.
It is like you say - nagios seems to ignore the time after the exclusion.
My tests were:

Exclude a few minutes from the 24x7 timeperiod and use it as check_period.
Result: Nagios won't check for today - next valid time begins tomorrow
at 00:00.

I think we can acknowledge this behavior and you are right with thinking
against get_next_valid_time().

Actual I have to few time to track this down, but maybe some other users
here on the list have.

Regards,
Hendrik

|
| For instance, suppose I define timeperiod1 as:
| define timeperiod {
| timeperiod_name timeperiod1
| alias Time Period 1
| sunday 00:00-07:00,22:00-24:00
| monday 00:00-07:00,22:00-24:00
| tuesday 00:00-07:00,22:00-24:00
| wednesday 00:00-07:00,22:00-24:00
| thursday 00:00-07:00,22:00-24:00
| friday 00:00-07:00,22:00-24:00
| saturday 00:00-07:00,22:00-24:00
| }
|
| and timeperiod2 as:
| define timeperiod {
| timeperiod_name timeperiod2
| alias Time Period 2
| sunday 00:00-24:00
| monday 00:00-24:00
| tuesday 00:00-24:00
| wednesday 00:00-24:00
| thursday 00:00-24:00
| friday 00:00-24:00
| saturday 00:00-24:00
| exclude timeperiod1
| }
|
| If I set a service to use timeperiod2 for notifications, and the
| service develops a problem during the excluded times, Nagios won't
| send a notification even after the excluded time is over.
|
| Here's an example:
| --The service develops a problem at 06:30 on Monday.
| --Nagios recognizes the problem but decides not to send a
| notification because the time is still during the exclusion period.
| --Nagios sets the service's next notification time to 00:00 on
| Tuesday, instead of to 07:00 on Monday.
| --Nagios rechecks the service after 07:00 on Monday, but it doesn't
| send a notification because "We haven't waited long enough to
| re-notify contacts about this service.", because it thinks the next
| notification time is 00:00 on Tuesday (i.e. still in the future).
|
| Thanks,
| Luke
