hi,
just need to verify whether this will work. Below is timeperiod which i am trying to use. Since i cannot practically test.

Code: Select all

define timeperiod {
	timeperiod_name               		Custom_time
	alias                         		Notification Times for test
	exclude                       		Custom_time_Exclude
	tuesday                       		00:00-24:00
	wednesday                     		00:00-24:00
	monday                        		00:00-24:00
	thursday                      		00:00-24:00
	friday                        		00:00-24:00
	saturday                      		00:00-24:00
	}	

define timeperiod {
	timeperiod_name               		Custom_time_Exclude
	alias                         		Notification Times for test

What version of XI are you using? You can grab it from the bottom left hand side of the web interface.

I think there is a bug in the latest versions that makes excludes not work and I want to verify on the version you are using.

Though the proper definition would be:

Code: Select all

define timeperiod {
   timeperiod_name                     Custom_time
   alias                               Notification Times for test
   exclude                             Custom_time_Exclude
   tuesday                             00:00-24:00
   wednesday                           00:00-24:00
   monday                              00:00-24:00
   thursday                            00:00-24:00
   friday                              00:00-24:00
   saturday                            00:00-24:00
   }   

define timeperiod {
   timeperiod_name                     Custom_time_Exclude
   alias                               Notification Times for test
   saturday 2                         00:00-24:00
   saturday 4                         00:00-24:00
   }

hi,

nagiosXi Version
Nagios XI 2014R2.7
Nagios Core 4.0.8

i will try what you have mention on my UAT server. I will be changing system date to check the effect of timeperiod exclusion.

What ssax mentioned should work. One thing to keep in mind is that in order for an exclude to work, it has to have a GREATER Precedence than the time-period you are overriding
