Nagios Support Forum

This is an intermittent problem so I can't provide a lot of diagnostics, except every now and again the Recurring Downtime doesn't get set - which results in a ticket being created.
I have a Recurring Downtime configured for a Host Group which puts a group of hosts and their services into downtime every night - this usually works. But on occasion it seems to miss one (or more) entries.
On the last occasion, it actually put all the services for a host into downtime but not the host itself. I can PM you a copy of the Notifications screen which shows all the services with a Downtime Started message - but not for the host.

To:
Restart crond then with:
I'd check /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/recurringdowntime.log once a day to make sure it's not getting too big and delete it periodically if the problem doesn't occur.

Thanks - info has been PM'd to you

Data received. Did you make the change to the cron job as well? I'd like get this as soon as you see the problem again along with a profile. It would probably be best to move this to a ticket though so please email [email protected] and reference this thread and I'll take ownership.
