Package: icinga2-common Version: 2.1.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I've just installed icinga2 on a system, and wondered why I got some notifications sent by email reporting every night (excerpt of mail pile) : Today 03:00 nagios@... DOWNTIMEEND - localhost - load is OK Today 02:00 nagios@... DOWNTIMESTART - localhost - load is OK It seems this is due to config by default in /etc/icinga2/conf.d/downtimes.conf : /** * The example downtime apply rule. */ apply ScheduledDowntime "backup-downtime" to Service { import "backup-downtime" assign where host.name == "localhost" && service.name == "load" } I think this is meant to adjust to higher load supposedly happening at backup times at night. Not everyone may notice this by default, as one needs to have activated notification pushes by mail for instance, to detect such repetitive messages. But I would expect that most installations would be notifying these... However, such a default config installed by default on Debian systems seems dubious to me. I can see no clear hint that every Debian system could be subject to load issues at night during that perdiod. Worse, it's not exactly obvious, by reading the notification emails. Nothing indicates where the rule lies, in the config files, for that "alert". I'd propose to remove such default in Debian. Or to indicate whether there's a way to not be notified of such downtimes, in the default config. Thanks in advance.
