send alert once in a day evenif the status is "OK"

[itzforu]

Hello Everybody,

I am using nagios to monitor more than 50 linux servers and its working perfectly.

Now I would like to get an email alert from for services on each day morning evenif the status is okay. is it possible to do with nagios?

Thanks in advance

Just to clarify, are you looking to receive an OK email once a day?
If so, do you want to do so for specific services, or all services?
What is the use case for this?

Thanks for you reply.

yes, i need to receive OK email once a day.

I want to do this for only one service.

There is no simple way to do this - especially if you want it to be done at a set time each day. The best method that comes to mind would be to write a script in your language of choice that parses the status.dat file and polls the information you seek and E-mails you. I've searched the exchange for such a script and don't see one so you may have to write it yourself or aggregate a group of similarly functioning scripts to achieve your goal.

Hi everyone!
Today I tried to resolve this issue and realized that we have time periods in Nagios and what if you could create new time period for one hour in the morning for every day... and set this time period in your service as this one.

I have created one like this and right now just waiting the result.

P.S. itzforu, please let me know if it will help you.

Is this working as expected then, or did you have a question about your configuration?
