do I have to do that manually on the cfg file? nagios wont let me inset the same day twice in the timperiod cfg manager

[scottwilkerson]

By golly you are right.

You have 2 choices. First would be to add it to a file in
/usr/local/nagios/etc/static

Or, you could install the New CCM Beta which allows multiple entries.
It is available in this post

I am going to install the new ccm on my test server (put a beta on production = financial hardship). so your saying to create TWO cfg files or one cfg file and then import it.

Does this mean that nagios can process a file configured the way you said to do it, but the cfg wiz just wont let you do it?

Actually, forget what I said about puting it in the static directory, not the right idea for this. Best to create 1 config and import it.
I just have to say that you may run into issues editing it with the current CCM.

Just one config file, and if you place it in the static directory you

Current CCM just doesn't let you do it, but nagios will.
