Send notification in case of scheduled downtime
Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2016 8:39 am
How can I send a notification such as "We are planning a scheduled downtime from 2016-07-14 20:00:00 till 2016-07-14 22:00:00" (given the current time 2016-07-14 15:30)?
I've wrote a macro that can be called as such
But I have several issues with this macro:
* The notification is not sent when it is created in the Nagios Core website, but is only triggered when the scheduled downtime starts (so in my example the notification is sent at 2016-07-14 20:00:00 and not at 15:30)
* The notification is sent when the downtime starts, but also when the downtime ends. How can I make sure that is only sent once?
* In my macro I cannot find a way to use the strings for the scheduled start and end.
This is currently my macro:
