Timeperiod not working

[pch]

Hello all

I have host defined in the hosts.cfg with the following timeperiod. Basically for testing I don't want any notification from this server. However I am still receiving emails when there is a issue on the host web1-udev.

Please help me I have tried a lot. May be I am missing something.

define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name no-notification
alias No Notification
sunday 00:00-24:00 ; Every Sunday of every week
monday 00:00-00:00 ; Every Monday of every week
tuesday 00:00-00:00 ; Every Tuesday of every week
wednesday 00:00-00:00 ; Every Wednesday of every week
thursday 00:00-00:00 ; Every Thursday of every week
friday 00:00-00:00 ; Every Friday of every week
saturday 00:00-24:00 ; Every Saturday of every week




define host{

use generic-host ; Inherit default values

check_command check-host-alive
notification_period no-notification
notification_interval 10

}


define host{

host_name web1-udev

check_period no-notification
}

You should be able to add the following to your host directive:

Code: Select all

notifications_enabled         0

[pch]

I just want to set the notification (time period) to the host to be sent only during workhours.

Please tell me if this is correct.

vi hosts.cfg

define host{
name linux-box-nonimp ; Name of this template
use generic-host ; Inherit default values
check_period 24x7
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
max_check_attempts 10
check_command check-host-alive
notification_period no-notification
notification_interval 10
notification_options d,r
contact_groups offpeak-contact-admins
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS IS A TEMPLATE
}

define host{
use linux-box-nonimp ; Name of host template to use
; This host definition will inherit all variables that are defined
; in (or inherited by) the linux-server host template definition.
host_name web1-udev
alias Web Server
address 192.168.16.231
check_period workhours
}


vi timeperiod.cfg

define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name workhours
alias Normal Work Hours
monday 09:00-17:00
tuesday 09:00-17:00
wednesday 09:00-17:00
thursday 09:00-17:00
friday 06:00-17:00
}

vi services.cfg

define service{
use local-service
host_name web1-udev
service_description Check SSH
check_command check_nrpe!check_ssh
check_period workhours
}

Basically for testing I don't want any notification from this server

define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name no-notification
alias No Notification
sunday 00:00-24:00 ; Every Sunday of every week
monday 00:00-00:00 ; Every Monday of every week
tuesday 00:00-00:00 ; Every Tuesday of every week
wednesday 00:00-00:00 ; Every Wednesday of every week
thursday 00:00-00:00 ; Every Thursday of every week
friday 00:00-00:00 ; Every Friday of every week
saturday 00:00-24:00 ; Every Saturday of every week

This timeperiod definition is not correct.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... timeperiod

If you wish to exclude an entire day from the timeperiod, simply do not include it in the timeperiod definition.

So your definition should be:

Code: Select all

define timeperiod {
	timeperiod_name               		no-notification
	alias                         		No Notification
	}	

I just want to set the notification (time period) to the host to be sent only during workhours.

In that case it would be something like:

Code: Select all

define timeperiod {
	timeperiod_name               		workhours
	alias                         		Normal Work Hours
	monday                        		09:00-17:00
	tuesday                       		09:00-17:00
	wednesday                     		09:00-17:00
	thursday                      		09:00-17:00
	friday                        		09:00-17:00
	}
