        }
My timeperiod

        timeperiod_name                         backup_time
        alias                                   backup_time
        sunday                                  00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        monday                                  00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        tuesday                                 00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        wednesday                               00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        thursday                                00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        friday                                  00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        saturday                                00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        }
So why does my services show up when I do not monitor them ? What am I missing here.

Thanks

Tom

Here is an example

It is like they are not even checking to see the timeperiod settings

Your time period seems a bit off:

Code: Select all

define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name                         backup_time
        alias                                   backup_time
        sunday                                  00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        monday                                  00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        tuesday                                 00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        wednesday                               00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        thursday                                00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        friday                                  00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        saturday                                00:00-19:00,07:00-24:00
        }


This would effectively be from 12:00am to 07:00pm, then 07:00am to 11:59pm every day. Due to the overlap, this is effectively a 24 hour time period every day. Could you tell us what you'd like to accomplish with this time period?

Oh

My backup time starts at 7:00 PM and stop at 7:00 AM

Suggestions

Code: Select all

define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name                         backup_time
        alias                                   backup_time
        sunday                                  19:00-07:00
        monday                                 19:00-07:00
        tuesday                                 19:00-07:00
        wednesday                            19:00-07:00
        thursday                                19:00-07:00
        friday                                    19:00-07:00
        saturday                                19:00-07:00
        }

Is this correct?

Will I get notifications during this time? I do not want any notification during this time period


Thanks

Tom

In that case, since the backup runs overnight and spills into 2 distinct days, this time period might make more sense:

Code: Select all

define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name						backup_time
        alias								backup_time
        sunday								00:00-07:00,19:00-24:00
        monday								00:00-07:00,19:00-24:00
        tuesday								00:00-07:00,19:00-24:00
        wednesday							00:00-07:00,19:00-24:00
        thursday							00:00-07:00,19:00-24:00
        friday								00:00-07:00,19:00-24:00
        saturday							00:00-07:00,19:00-24:00
        }
This says "midnight to 7am, and 7pm-midnight" for any given day. Due to each day having the same definition, this should effectively encompass a 7am-7pm time period each day.
