[SOLVED] Host group and time period

[prostolitkk]

Hi
Please help understand how i can define "time period" for host group.
I have services, and they use hostgroup_name for refer to hosts, but in some host groups i have different time period (work hours).
Need duplicate service with custom time periods?
Or i can use macros or some different ways?

Timeperiods cannot be applied to hostgroups unfortunately. You would need to either define the timeperiods in-line for each host/service or use a template.

Ok
Can i define time period for host, and link this host period to all they services that apply to it?

The host's timeperiod will not be inherited by its services. Though you could define a single timeperiod and apply it to both hosts and services, yes.

As this page states, check_period is a required directive for a host/service definition:
