Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I'm running V5.5.8, 64-bit, VM. CentOS 7.

We did an MS update on a large number of servers this morning. The servers have time periods that mask out a 40 minute time period.

Many servers had their updates and there were no unexpected alert.

A few servers had problems. I'll use an example that had a time period for update at 3:00 AM to 3:40.

I verified the server date/time is correct.

A critical state was recorded, a critical alert was sent at 3:20.

A normal state existed later, but the state change does not appear in the state history, and no recovery alert was sent.

Can you verify the timeperiod for this service in the CCM and send the config definitions for that timeperiod?

Hello,

It is:

[ead@winston hosts]$ cat brother.doit.wisc.edu.cfg

define timeperiod {

}

Is this same timeperiod applied to the service?

Hello,

The service was 24x7.

I thought the host notification period overruled the service.

Even if that is not true, the normal state was missing from the service state history, after the critical state.

No, services are independent

For the State history report set the State Type to "Both"

Thanks Scott!

Please lock the case.
