Nagios Support Forum

Hi:
We have a client who is using Nagios XI to monitor several resources within a cloud environment. They want to turn these machines off after hours and on weekends, to save money. Is their an option somewhere in Nagios XI, where we can still monitor them, but only for the specific time frame?, say X to Y hours, so we do not receive down alerts when they powered off during the selected timeframes?...I hope this makes sense. Thanks Edward

Hi ejwalsh,
You can create a new "timeperiod" object, then associates the new timeperiod to the "check_period".

Here's how: If you like, you can use the "Bulk Modification Tool" to update your changes once the new timeperiod has been defined.
Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Vinh
