Notification time intervals - invalid time range

We are configuring notification time intervals on a per user basis.
We would like to set notification intervals from Monday through Friday to be from 2pm - 6am. When I try to configure this as follows, I get "One or more time ranges is invalid."
Monday - From: 14:00 To: 06:00
I currently have Saturdays and Sundays set to 00:00 to 24:00 - I would imagine there's some sort of an overlap occurring?
Can anyone help? Thank you

is not valid. "06:00" is already the next day (Tuesday)...
Try something like this:
Code: Select all
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name my_timeperiod
alias 14pmto6am
monday 14:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-06:00,14:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-06:00,14:00-24:00
thursday 00:00-06:00,14:00-24:00
friday 00:00-06:00,14:00-24:00
saturday 00:00-24:00
sunday 00:00-24:00
}

OK - I've added this to timeperiods.cfg - how would our users select this config now?

NagiosQL seems to have deleted the change I made in timeperiods.cfg. I've tried adding it via the Core Config Manager using Time Periods - and when I add all of the times, and apply the config, they disappear and do not get saved.
Please advise?

In Nagios XI you need to make all of the configuration changes under the Core Config Manager (not in the CLI)...
CCM->Time Periods->Add New->... Save.
Then add the timeperiod to your host/service:
CCM->Hosts/Services->...->Modify->Alert Settings tab->select the timeperiod you just created from the "Notification period" drop-down menu. Save. Apply Configuration.

Ok. Is there any way to add the time period per user?

That depends. Do you mean true Nagios XI Users? Or Nagios Core contacts? Users can configure the XI interface, while contacts are just used for notification purposes. Each user will have an associated contact created, so it should be no different in either case (but the distinction is important). You should be able to just select the time period in the CCM for each contact.

Thank you both - I was able to select the notification times I configured per user. This worked out great.
Cheers
