Recurring schedule which looks this way:

6:00 2160 sat,sun 14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21 (36 hours)

14:00 Mon (21) already, but still in downtime mode ?

To better illustrate, can you show us a screenshot of what you're seeing on the scheduled downtime page?

Schedule attached (still marked as downtime in the system, even so it is already Monday for a while in UTC)

Is the date/time on the server set properly?

Code: Select all

date
ls -l /etc/localtime
php -r 'echo date("D M j G:i:s T Y")."\n";'
grep "date.timezone =" /etc/php.ini

This may actually be a bug, to test this please make a backup of your current file and replace it with the one I've attached.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/cron/recurringdowntime.pl
recurringdowntime.pl
The fix may only work for new recurring downtimes so please create another and see if it follows it.

Let us know the results.

I not seem to get ANY downtimes after using this one
- very not good

Upgraded to 5.2.5 / should I re-create all downtimes now?

Start by recreating one recurring downtime, and make sure it works - then yes, recreate all of them.

Are you seeing them now when you create them?

This is bad. Downtimes do not work at all. Even after being deleted and re-scheduled (5.2.5 XI appliance)

After using Nagios-provided script neither new nor old script creates any downtimes. We are currently bombarded with with alerts from hundreds of servers (patching weekend). Any attempt to create even a simple Sat/Sun downtime does not work either. This is very bad.
