I'm interested in setting hosts.cfg notification_period so that it will not check a certain host during a specified period ..such as 3:00AM - 3:30AM. I have a backup running on a certain machine and so Nagios times out and pages me. The machine is just super busy at this time and is not actually down.

I've looked around for the parameters to do this but as of yet have had no luck in find it. I find that it's possible.. just not having luck finding the settings/syntax for doing so.

Create a custome timeperiod entry, and use that. Eg


define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name off-hours
        alias           Odd hours
        monday          00:00-06:59
        monday          17:01-24:00
        tuesday         00:00-06:59
        tuesday         17:01-24:00
        }

Then use the timeperiod in the host and service checks for that machine, another possibliity would be to put the box into downtime, but I don't know how to do that on a recurring basis.
