Hi,
Is it possible to include Time period ranges like Monday - Friday as Time Definition and 07:00-19:00 as Time Range. I have tired but giving an error "Error: Could not parse timerange #1 for day 1 of timeperiod (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg', starting on line 53)" .
Also can we also have run checks for 24/7 but send alerts for a particular time period (say 0:700-19:00) and for a specific group?

monday - friday wouldn't be valid, you would need to add each day separately.
There are a lot of different ranges that are valid but that isn't one that exists

Yes, you can set a separate time-period for notifications when editing a host/service in the CCM
Alert Settings Tab -> Notification period

@scottwilkerson - Thanks for the update.
For some reason notification is not working.
Here are the definitions:
timeperiod:
Code: Select all
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name cp-standard-timeperiod
alias CP standard timings
monday 07:00-19:00
tuesday 07:00-19:00
wednesday 07:00-19:00
thursday 07:00-19:00
friday 07:00-19:00
}
Service:
Code: Select all
define service {
host_name server_name
service_description Local Disks
check_command check_xi_ncpa!-t 'NagiosXi' -P 5693 -M 'plugins/check_disk' -q 'args=-l -w 20% -c 10%'
max_check_attempts 2
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 5
notification_period cp-standard-timeperiod
contact_groups Linux-Alerts
register 1
}
contactsgroup:
Code: Select all
define contactgroup {
contactgroup_name Linux-Alerts
alias Linux Systems Alerts
members member1,member2
}
As per the definitions, we are supposed to receive alerts from 7am to 7pm but we are not receiving any alerts? please have a look.

Do the notification events show up in the Notification Log & State History?

I can see events in the Notifications but nothing in state log on NagiosXi under Reports.

Can you verify that member1 and member2 have all the correct items set in their Notification settings, see page 2,3 here

make sure the notification method and preferences are set to receive the types you want.
