Scheduled Downtime

I have a host that gets rebooted every Thursday. During the reboot we don't want any notification or phone calls form PagerDuty. Is there a way to setup scheduled downtime maintenance for every Thursday?

Are you going to
or the shortened link
Also, what happens if you login? Can you post a screenshot of the full browser, URL included?

Just leave if you want it to be every Thursday. That is for if you wanted it to be every Thursday except perhaps not the 29th, 30th, or 31st (as that could be the 5th time in a month). Obviously, you could disallow other days, but I am not sure why you would want to.

That looks like every Thursday to me. I couldn't tell you if it's the right start time or the right duration though. Also, is the start time on Thursday? Most of that downtime is actually on Friday.

Yes it reboots every Thursday at 11:55 and is down for 20 minutes.

It sounds like this issue has been resolved. Is it okay if we lock this thread? Thanks for choosing the Nagios forums!
